I'm pretty sure he was just demonstrating that he could. I don't think he actually did for distance.

I dunno; they look colour-matched to me, which makes me think he might tow it regularly. |

I'll believe it when I see it back down a ramp, set the emergency brake then get off the bike and unload the boat. I'll really believe it when I see him back down the ramp, load the boat onto the trailer and then pull the rig up the ramp out of the water. |

I used to tow my Jet Ski with my 1988 Toyota MR2, and the MR2 didn't have a much bigger engine than our Valks do (1.6 liter 4 banger).
I could get the boat in and out of the water, but it was helpful if I had someone on the jet ski running it to help push outta the water from the wet side. But I COULD do it with just the car, it was just hell on my clutch. And that car, while it had more HP than a Valk, wasn't as torquey as one.
The main concern I'd have for pulling one outta the water with the Valk would be a single wet tire patch trying to make it happen.
Would I do it? No. Could it be done? Maybe...
(And yeah, that boat is a lot bigger than a jet ski too, and my MR2 was barely able to handle a Jet Ski being pulled out.)
