Yeah seriously once a Z's tires are wet they spin with ease and thats not including an incline. Although that is a nice ribbed concrete launch with sufficient angle to use a Z. That looks to be an 800cc Twin and not the 1300 triple. lol At least its not a 4 cycle ski.... Those Bitches are F'in heavy! What he needs is the new Yamaha FZR with some bolt-ons they are running 80 mph +
The launchs in my area are not nearly as user friendly. I own a Frontier Crew cab for pulling my fleet of skis.

Ive done lots of data aquisition with U-haul's of all sorts, and you pull it over 45 with any vehicle, especially a light one, and you're in deep if you start to get some trailer sway. Which is exactly why U-Haul gets a bad rep, morons... and why they have the 45mph sticker.
What you gonna do when it has your IS300 on its back?
And ofc the Z can pull. In fact, it could comfortably pull much more than a jet ski/wave runner, with its power.

Nice to see you are making a name for yourself after only 6 posts....Try RE-reading my post...did I say I ended up not being able to haul it?...did I complain about U-Haul?...Did I say I ended up with my IS300 on its back?

Next in line; I posted because you're one of the imbiciles who thinks its "cool" to use property, which isn't yours, in a harmful manner. The over-sized 45mph stickers are there for a reason. I just thought it was funny because people are going crazy over pulling somthing under a TON, yet don't see anything wrong with your post.
Lastly, you endanger yourself and everyone else near you by driving much faster than the equipment is designed for.
Thanks!, face-palm your way of thinking idiot.
"I threw a hitch on the IS and pulled that baby 1200 miles...and I dont care what it says on the side...that thing can go WELL over 45 MPH. lol."
Edit: my bad for spamming the thread. Just couldn't resist

Firstly, what does me having 6 post have anything to do with anything?

In regards to your amount of your posts...Doesn't really matter, I just found it interesting that you really havent added much valueable information to this website and after only 6 threads, are ALREADY using harsh putdowns and flaming...Just my opinion.

Dwg, let it go, I think forumZ fails to realize that the 45mph sticker is there as a cautionary measure. Just like speed limits. I mean we have limits here in Canada for 50km/h on 3 lane highways. Is doing 100 on that highway during a dry day safe? Hell yes, but were not "supposed" to. And yeah having 6 posts and bashing another member isn't the smartest way to become a contributing member on the forum. Not to mention, you probably didn't read the forum rules about personal attacks and name calling etc. So before trolling about DWG ignoring a "non law-enforced" sticker I suggest you reread our forum rules.
And as for towing with the Z, I personally would not. I don't think its healthy for the tranny or diff. And if I had the extra cash for a jet ski or whatever, I'd just buy a $400 truck to do the pulling.
I once saw a video of a F150 pulling a boat out of water. Short story, while coming back out, rear tires lost traction and truck went down the launch as rear tires submerged and sunk.
Trying it with a Z...bad idea.
