can my 1996 lincoln towncar signature v8 tow my boat?

Q: suposidly my boat (1985 bayliner 27') weights between 5000-6000 lbs and should be towed by at least a 1/2 ton vehicle recomended a 3/4 ton. can my lincoln town the boat to move it from dry storage to the launch deck(100 yards)? can it move it in the streets or freeway/highway? can it move it at all and if yes can it legally move it? thanks for the quick reply ! :D but do you think it can tow the boat from short distances ? REALLY SHORT DISTANCES JUST TO MOVE FROM DRY STORAGE TO DECK

A: NO. Absolutely not. No, it can't legally move it, either, you'll be grossly over the car's tow capacity. Get a friend with a truck to pull it for you, or buy a truck yourself. I'd check on the weight of that boat again, too....most 27' boats are closer to 10k lbs, which would require a minimum of a 3/4 ton truck to tow.
