There's a boat in my rear view mirror, :thumbup:, & 'bout time!!!
U-Haul Hitch #24643 (http://store.uhaul.com/(cvi2dluuxw51zqat14tc5a45)/wizard_hitches.aspx) Sportframe Rec. for about $200, (including installation, wiring harness, ball, the tacos & beer I had while I waited a little more than an hour).
I wish I had pics but, I'm having
no problems with towing, handling, braking, etc. with a 100% stock, '91 305 TPI, 5-speed w/116k miles.

I'm towing about 1500-1600lbs of boat w/trailer, spinning 'round 2600-3100rpms in 4th, doing 58-63mph, getting 'bout 13-14mpg, (19-21 w/out boat).

Previous owner of my formy had a class II or class III (can't remember which) tow hitch sitting under it when I got it. First thing I did was cut that SOB off... I'd just use a truck or something.
