Hope

Captain, you have given me hope that I can tow my jetski.

I've had funny dreams about the smart being dragged down the ramp and into the depths.

wide. speeds of up to 30 kts. I bought it from Boatingnetworks.com I think they also ship to the US. Visit boatingnetorks.com and check out the review

Cap'n, my ski is about 267cm lg. (105") and weighs 370kg (a biscuit over 815lbs).
My smart passion will have a 1.0L engine. I may be pushing the limits on towing.

Thanks for the info!

Don't think you'd have any problems pulling this one out of the water with the Smart.
