Do you all think I can tow a 1996 Osprey 200 with a Johnson 130 and a double axle trailer with a Jeep Wrangler with a 6cyl?? It will never get towed more than about 10 miles round trip I was just a little concerned with pulling up the ramp when I'm done. I use a Ram Hemi now just really want a Jeep.

I used to tow my 1996 200 Osprey with a 1994 Wrangler with the 4.0 (6 cyl). Around town, no problem. Between St. Pete and Crystal River, no problem. From Crystal River to the keys and back...probably wouldn't do that again. Especially going over the Skyway Bridge. So I say go for it, especially if the trailer has brakes. Just drive carefully and give yourself plenty of room to stop as you will definitely know it is behind you.

Yea.... the trailer has no brakes. The ramp I use isn't too steep but just wondering if I can make it back up.

You should have no problem pulling it up the ramp. I have a 2007 Wrangler now that I use to pull my airboat. Granted it probably weighs a little less than the 200 Osprey, but I put the jeep in 4wd and it pulls the airboat up the ramp without giving it gas. The brakes would certainly help if you need to stop fast. That is the only concern.
