I ran into a fellow X5'er using his 35d to tow his boat this evening. (He had already walked it out)
He said he gets better mileage towing than his other vehicle normally does. (STFU Hatorade about the volt, same goes for you eddie with the Insight).

How do you launch the Lund?
With lots of love and magic. I was behind these 5 brown guys at Humber Bay last year, took them 20 mins to get their fucking boat out. I even offered to drive it up on the trailer for them, they looked at me like I was crazy.
As for our boat, everything gets undone except the bow strap (safety chain, trans saver, rear straps) boat goes in the water, I reach over from the front and undo the strap and off we go. Same goes for loading.. Trailer goes in until the rear rollers are wet, power up the trailer, leave the motor in forward so it's hitting the bump stop, attach strap, done. 20 seconds maybe.

What's the tow rating on a Civic? 400lbs?
