Dean, The CC Roamer is a good choice due to the differential capability you have with twin screws and rudders, particularly in close quarters. Rafting, with spring lines fore and aft to the fendered sub alongside, will be required for close quarter maneuvering, ie marinas. Practice, practice, practice, out away from everybody. How much scope you let out on the tow line for long distances, will be determined by how your tow (sub) rides in the water, and local conditions. There is a formula for determining line size, based on displacement, find it. The sub will have lots of inertia to overcome. Make sure hardware is not fastened to fairings, only to frame or hull proper. Use the same hook and eye hardware used by towboat recovery guys, visit a towboat US or like near you.

Does anyone out there have experience in towing?.
I now have an operational surface support craft
35' Chris Craft roamer steel hull and lots of power
