Boat towing harness

Here's a new one and maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

I need information to design a harness to tow a 23 center console with a 65' sport fishing boat long distance. Most of what I've found in Chapman and other places is for an emergency towing rig.

Any help will be appreciated.

Before you look into a harness, make sure the boat can be towed at the speed and sea conditioins expected. Each design needs a particular towing system.

Back in the days when boats had cleats, we used ropes, lines or hausers.

Gilbert now your being technical, probably expect people to be able to tie knots and splice rope next To Far!
