We used to tow my ProCraft with a Yota 4 banger to Eufaula, Martin, WestPoint etc with no trailer brakes, if it would have had trailer brakes it would have been much safer, had a few pucker times where the boat wnted to push the truck and every once and a while we would have to put it in 4lo to get up a steep ramp but had the trailer had brakes it would have been fine.
