Many people don't have a vehicle (with a trailer hitch) capable of towing something like this. A 23 foot boat on a trailer would weigh 4,500 to 5,500 pounds. If you try to rent a vehicle for this purpose, a lot of rental companies specify you can't tow anything with their vehicles.

Many people would not be comfortable towing a trailer of this size and weight.

Many people SHOULD NOT be towing a trailer of this size and weight.

(Many people should not be driving a car!)
