Some short Google search for "sailboats 1979"...
it looks like a Neptun 22 model from arround 1979
(German glass-fiber boat, later model have differnt windows, available since 1967 till today, 5 sleeping bunks, elevating roof)
Weight 1300 kg, length 7.00 m, width 2.50 m (data from an ebay entry of a 1979 model)
see also http://neptun22.de e.g. the 1971 model.
The late bay with big engine could tow up to 1800 kg officially in Germany - so this fit - no fake. 
(as mine with Westfalia hitch 321125 and 2000 ccm engine)
regards,

IF that were on our highways the driver should be shot for a manifestly unsafe combination.
Way too much weight for the brakes and steering capacity of a Bus, regardless of what the Mfg once spec'd

Things were little different back then, not everyone had a powerful car to haul things, especially in Europe!

I don’t care if people kill themselves but unsafe trailering kills others.
I would only shoot the driver. If I am in a good mood I would do a through and through. See, we do have gun control here.

Boats.

My buddy tows an Eriba puck behind his 1600 SP 70 bus. This is up a 5000’
ascend. He does just fine.

Shoot him before other folks see it and get ideas. Abscate’s UK born isn’t he? Grass on him so he’ll get fitted up and sent down the nick......

The thought of someone speed bagging my nutsack makes things shrink “like a frightened turtle”. Thanks for the sleepy-time laughs Xevin. Wait....boats!

That Hobie is a 500 LB load with trailer and won’t be noticeable behind any car..also no windage. That keelboat....no.
It’s really hard to shoot hummingbirds on meth while your sack is getting speedballed.

14-foot '63 Elgin runabout, been in the family since '64. Needs some work but basically solid -- I "rescued" her from my parent's backyard and this trip was the first time she'd been in the water in 20 years. |

That isn't the one you heard Adam talk about in the wedding. That was Boat #2.
Adam did run the pictured boat out of fuel once last summer. I was the one who got us going again. I called people who lived near where we were floating helplessly and flagged down another boat. The other boat took me to shore, and helped me get a 5 gallon gas can that they brought to shore, and took me back.
