You don't know anything about tongue weight and towing do you? The average trailer is designed to balance all the weight over it's own tires. The tongue weight at the front ball of that trailer is probably only 50-100 lbs which is less weight than a full tank of gas. No problem for any Rx7.

Guys,
LOTS of people tow track trailers with the 7 to hold their tools, track wheels, etc.
I do it, and it works fine.... and I used to (before I got a 2nd set of wheels) haul all of that crap in the back of the car. Trust me, ballanceing it all on a trailer instead of piled over the rear wheels is alort BETTER for the car. Even with all the rest of the crap I bring now, the rear suspension isn't as compressed with the trailer hooked up. So long as I keep it at the right ballance height, I can actually unhook the trailer and walk it around by hand when it's fully loaded.
There's a pre-made hitch mount from U-haul for goodness sake.

It's not that bad. Those jet skis don't look very heavy so it shouldn't hurt the car to tow them. The main concern is don't leave the car parked on a ramp underwater or somewhere the tide can cover the driveshaft with water for any length of time. If barnacles form on your driveshaft it can throw the balance off and cause nasty vibration. Personally I would only submerge it up to the gas door in fresh water. Be sure to hose it down real good and make sure no seaweed or grasses are caught up in the brakes, etc.
Nice car. Why are you selling the jet skis?

First of all I know it's fake. Second I had a 95 Toyota truck V6 and it could barely pull my 2 skis. A light-weight trailer with some slicks and tools is one thing, but I can't believe some people think that it would be OK to tow the probably 500lb trailer and two 200-500 pound skis. I know my bare bone's car trailer weighs at least 2500 pounds. We can't even launch hard at the track on slicks without wondering it the diff is going to explode.

Your Toy V6 was a POS then!! My 91 Nissan V6 can haul anything i want to put behind it. When i worked at a jet ski rental place in Phoenix I towed a 4 spot trailer with 4 Sea doo GTX 3 seaters( to Canyon Lake) and the truck didn't even sneeze at it.
Sorry but your toy was just that a "toy" if it couldn't handle it.
