Trailering a 23

Hello, I was wondering what would be an appropriate vehicle for towing a 23.  I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey. About 244 HP/Torque.  Of course it is usually full of kids and gear to increase the GVWR.  Would this be a comfortable vehicle for the job?   Thank you, Mike (No boat yet)

That may be  little light for the job.  Check your owners manual for towing capacity.  New ones are rated for 3500#.  Boat & trailer will go over that limit.

My Honda Pilot can pull my CP23 with a galvanized Performance trailer, although boat and trailer are very close to Honda Pilot's 4,500 # boat towing limit.  The necessary tongue weight for a 4500# trailer makes the steering less than ideal.
