I have a
2010 Speedster 155, which is pretty much your boat's Dad. Pretty much same size, lineage, and form factor. Just different cosmetics. Dry weight 1,454lbs. I assume about 500-600 for the trailer. Plus fluids, fuel, coolers, gear, two people, etc.
I've been towing it with a 2009 4-cyl. Subaru Forester (non-turbo), rated for 2500 lbs., and it's been... stressful. I can feel the strain on the vehicle, and over the past few years of occasional towing duty, I can just feel the effect on the vehicle. Things feel a little "looser" and less like that tight, new car feeling. It's aging the vehicle I think. (New foresters are down to like 1500 lbs. I think, so either they changed the vehicle or they realized that they can't really tow worth a damn.)
BUT. I'm towing mine quite a ways to get it anywhere. 20 miles each way to a typical ramp. 25 to another. And maybe a couple times a year, 250 miles each way to Maine. 40 miles each way to the dealership for winterization/wrap. I don't use it a ton (6x a year?) and I'm not a lifestyle tow/toy/trailer person, so that may be contributing to my stress when towing.
Pros: You're towing short distances. You can go slow, take extra care, and probably be fine. Physically it seems
possible.
Cons: It's a 2015 vehicle, it's a shame to put that kind of stress / accelerated aging on it. It likely won't be very comfortable -- you'll know it's back there every second, lugging along. And worst con of all -- liability. I'm not an attorney, but if there were a freak accident of any type and you were found to be towing over your rated limit, it could be trouble.
My 2¢, if at all possible, you'll be more comfy and safer towing with something else. But I'd hate for that to stand in the way of you enjoying something so fun. And don't get me wrong, this size boat is pretty ridiculously fun as long as you look at it like a supersized jet-ski and not a roomy boat in which you'll stay dry and civilized.
Either way, good luck!
