Even if your Westy has enough power to tow the boat for some time it will likely
result in shorter life for the engine and longer stopping distances. Most vans
the size of Vanagon now days are powered by much more reliable and powerful V6
engines. Then there could be big diffrence in weight of 14ft boats..
