If that is not a chop, no way I would pull a boat that size with a Vette. The car is not designed for pulling that much weight.

The "little" Vette and the big boat reminds me of the old Mutt and Jeff cartoons! 
(I guess that means I admit to being old).

The C5 wasn't really designed to tow anything. That doesn't mean you can't. Just that you may end up regretting it.

Fun car = Corvette (among others)
Boat hauler = truck (some other vehicles can, but I wouldn't with a bigger boat)
Never personally owned a boat (or a truck), so never had to worry about what to haul it with.

My son used to pull his JetSki behind his C5 and had no trouble at all, but a boat ? 
How do you even pull out of the launch ramp ?

Ummmm.....ok, that is the tail wagging the dog if you ask me. That is not only utter stupidity to tow something 2 or 3 times heavier than the vehicle you are towing with but dangerous and has accident written all over it, whether a vette is designed for or not to tow anything is secondary to the sheer stupidity of it.
