I used to use a sj51 to launch and retrieve my boat, where I lived there were no real roads and boats had to be beach launched. The 1.3 with 6.5 trans gears was better to launch the boat then the wife's landcruiser troopcarrier.

Boat weighs around 1400kg and the trailer has good breaks.

My friend had a standard SJ and he pulled a Malibu Ski Boat up the slipway in low - just to see if it would cope. It pulled the boat out no problem but it is not something he would want to do often!!!!

I'm surprised that nobody has posted this video yet... However, with only 200 views, perhaps you guys haven't found it yet
