    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.
