The ski is a polaris sl 750, a 2 seater sit down ski.

It weighs 550 lbs dry, the trailer weighs about 150 lbs. Tongue weight is about 100l lbs.

Coming out of the water on the ramp is easy. I have even launched and pulled out of the water on a backwater dirt ramp and had no problems at all.

I have also towed the jet ski trailer with a 2 seater mini dune buggy over 300 miles.

That tongie weight seems a bit heavy for a 700 lb load....did you weight it at the tongue? Typically tongue weighs 10% of the trailers loaded weight.

Just curious, I think its cool to see you using that Yaris for that!

tongue weight was just guess, 10% so about 70 lbs, ya that sounds right.

I have a huge gmc 2500 but its a gas guzzler and I would hate to use it to tow the ski.
