My EvoII makes for a fine tow rig.
I'm after getting sick of hauling R-comps,jack,tool box,cooler......ect ect......inside the car to and from Solo2 events.So I finally got around to making a trailer hitch for it.....and I have to say......its a good tow rig!
Think about it,all the stuff that makes the Evo such a great performance car also makes it a great tow car......
Powerful turbo engine
Heavy duty clutch
Low(or is that high,I always mix them up)gear ratios
Stable all wheel drive system
Heavy duty cooling sytem,with an oil cooler
Strong brake system
If you didn't know it was an Evo,you'd think I was checking off the specs for a tow pickup.
Anyways,the little Evo makes for a fine tow rig,no trouble to haul a utility trailer full of race crap around.If it ever stops raining here I'll get a picture up.

As for your friend,think of it this way....its a four seat car with a trunk....stands to reason that you can carry four people plus suitcases in it.As long as the PWC/trailer doesn't weight too much more than three people....no problem.I wouldn't load the car up with three big people plus junk PLUS a PWC/trailer,but as long as he's reasonable should be no problem.
Weather permitting I'm going on a 2 hour drive on Sunday to pick up a Land Rover engine/transmission/transfer case plus some other bits.....the engine alone is 450LBS.....I'll report in on what she tows like.
