Default jetski trailer on a mustang gt 07?

I have a Jetski that weighs 351 pounds. The book says I can do up to 1500 pounds but do you think it would be a good idea? How would I get a hitch on the mustang without it looking too bad? Any suggestions?

guy on here named BamaDan was asking about hooking up a trailer hitch in the 4.0 section a while ago. maybe shoot him a pm and see if/how he did his.

I had a friend pull his jetskis with an SN95 just look in the phone book to see who installs tow hitches. All you need is a class 1 hitch. Let us know how it goes.

that would depend on the ramp angle of your boat slip. You would'nt need a lot water to launch a jet ski. The question is are you planning on launching in salt or fresh water. If I was planning on salt water i wouldnt use a vehicle I was planning on keeping a very long time. However just to launch a jet ski you probly wouldnt submerge your car at all. But I could be wrong.

depends on the ramp. if its gravel or cement. I would think that i wouldnt matter with a cement ramp, the trailer doesnt even have to be fully in the water. Just push the jetski off, its not like a big boat where it has to float off.

The ramp at our old marina was gravel. Cars and two wheel drive trucks/suvs would get stuck all the time. almost every weekend. Funny to watch them drop the trailer and have a real 4x4 yank it out.

I'm sure you're a good guy and eveything, respectful of your Mustang, so I'm not gonna bag on you, but...

MUSTANG = NOT FOR HAULING.

It can be done, of course, but it's really not appropriate for the car. If you need to haul your jet ski, and can't borrow a pick-up from anyone for the weekend, rent a pick-up truck from U-Haul or something.

I saw a 4.0 with a hitch in a parking lot. I laughed and my friend wondered why.
