Can he? well yes. Legally? well no.
My 4 runner weighs 4800 lbs and has a tow limit of 5000 lbs. They wouldnt even let me rent a trailer to tow the vette (which weighs 3100 lbs?) if I needed to.
So ya, I would say he could tow the boat . . . .at least once

chevy made a z04 truck he must thinking of. The drive train will pull it easy, but it will destroy the rear frame and suspention. I am a big guy 6'2 280 and i think the weight cap... Is 500 lbs. My wife has to stay right at 120lbs or i will be over the limit. Well thats what i tell her

I pulled my 18 ft Bow rider ski boat with my 97 Z28 6 speed,I pulled it probably 10 times or so about 20 miles round trip each time.I got some strange looks,I no longer have the car but I still see it from time to time.Would I recommend it? or would I do it again? no way!!!! But a 23 footer? the guy is just flat out lying that tongue weight is half ton territory at least, besides towing is all about stopping getting rolling is the easy part!!! I'm officially calling
