Jet ski yeah, small boat depends on how small. Personally after having replaced my bumper from backing into a tree at .2 miles per hour and twisting it all to hell, I don't want to pull anything with it. However, I have a frame hitch anyway.....

you can def tow a small boat or jetski, i've been towing my 17ft bass boat for 2 years with mine and no saging or any problems. not to mension the boat isnt a new one so its not even close to how light they make them today

I Pulled a F-150 with mine a couple miles, wasn't goin too fast tho, if your gonna be towing regularly a reciever hitch is definately worth your while
