Towing a 21' boat with an 88"

This is what it looks like. I added 225 lb. of sand over the rear axle for added stability.
Only 5 miles or so to the boatyard, but kind of hairy nonetheless.

You should be awarded the OBE (Order of the British Empire) for British pluck and heroism, LOL...

Define "working." IIRC they are called overrun brakes. I drive as if they don't exist, and go very, very slooooow.

You should post those pics on some other LR forums and tell people you drive down I-95 to Florida with that behind your 88" every spring and fall. People's heads will explode.
