Havnt you seen the 1g that pulls a boat regularly
Nope, but I've seen S2000's towing sailboats. My plan is to trailer it to the lake once its running and leave it there so my mom's Jeep will do fine.

You mean a local one, or the one owned by that mod on DSMtalk?

I say leave the decals on, paint the rub rails black, get black well mats, and get a black seat cover, that would look pretty nice IMO

I bid on a rear grab handle on eBay (current one is broken in half) that I plan to paint black if I win it and I messaged a guy about some black mats he is selling. That'll be about it for cosmetic stuff until its up and running since that's what I really need to focus on right now.

You can always do a motor swap from something bigger/newer that has more powa!

Or get a bigger carb, mill the head and run e85.

It's true! The funny thing is that he owns a pickup, but still tows with the Talon. Great guy, he was up here on vacation last fall and I had lunch with him.

Nice project! I had a '95 Yamaha Waveblaster 700 with a few mods. That thing was a lot of fun! Seeing this makes me miss it.

Most boats are light, so they would not put to much extra stress on the drive train, and a DSM or similar might get better MPG then a truck. I would not try to launch the car or do high way pulls, but driving normal I think it would be fine.
