To the OP. If you're only talking 3mi to the lake, I can't see it hurting anything as long as you take it slow. I wouldn't want to run down the highway with a PS 190 in tow though.
If you do it, I'd chain up to another vehicle first time up the ramp to make sure the Element will pull the ramp.
I've pulled my PS 190 short distances with my '74 CJ-5. Wouldn't rely on it pulling the boat down the highway....I mean stopping the boat at highway speeds.
3mi is a long way with a tractor! Maybe get a beater truck to tow with???

I believe the elements rear bumper will be dragging the ground..................Not going to make 300 feet much less 3 miles.

No No

I see you also posted this on Honda Element Ownersclub.org.

http://www.elementownersclub.com/for...ht=mastercraft

Now, between these 2 sites, you should now know that an E will not safely tow a MC.
