Years ago, I had a custom made tow bar fitted to my 230SL, in order to haul our Hoby Cat down to the beach. Years later I took my 190SL project to a paint shop and back, a few miles away and then removed the tow bar when the kids were no longer interested in Hoby sailing.
No damage to the Pagoda, except for a few holes in the boot floor, which I had welded up and painted.
