    Did you notice it had a jet drive?
    Or maybe that’s what you are looking for.
    Nice boat.
    Outback should pull it fine. Stopping may be another thing.

    Are you looking for a jet drive?

    Nice boat. If stopping is a concern brakes can be added if needed

    Outback has a towing capacity starting at 2700 pounds. Should pull that setup fine. Like Jack said you can add trailer brakes.

    Didn't look to be too bad of a price on the boat

    Couldn’t tell if it is a tunnel boat too.
    Buddies tunnel can run very skinny water. He has a prop motor and it is very hard in reverse to control.
    I would say jet would be also.
    Don’t know?

    If you are considering adding brakes check your axle, make sure you have a four bolt flange adjacent to the spindle. This is needed for disc brakes, not sure what is needed for drums.
