Hinten,

I was just towing an 18' bass boat in Cape Cod with a Silverado. It had 4 wheel steer, which was very nice but it was still difficult. I had never trailored before this so it took me a little while to get used to it. It's not a big deal but it is easy to mess up your trailer or someone elses property if you don't watch your turns.

Go to a local place to have them check your set up, even a U-haul might help you with this. Then I suggest hitting an open parking lot and practicing your manuevers. You will need to do these same manuevers while backing the boat on/off the ramp. I had to do this while blocking traffic in both directions so there was little room for error.

The H2 is not has good of a tow vehicle because of its departure angle. It kind of has no ass to pull with. This is why a Silverado/Suburban is far better but it can certainly be done with the H2 just be ready for a little more practice.

What kind of boat did you get? Is it just for buzzing around or are you taking it fishing?

Enjoy!
