The S has plenty of power to tow. What is lacks is a method and frame to properly attach a hitch. Sure you can do it. The question is will the hitch stand up to a panic stop after its been on the car 3 years. An aluminum frame offers no proper way to bolt the hitch in. Most cars tow ratings are determined not by power but by the hitch attach method and points along with stopping ability. If you do have an accident while towing you will be considered negligent in any court case and your insurance could refuse to cover the accident.

 

The S2000 has a steel frame.

Chase Race makes a very well-engineered removeable hitch for this car (based on a design first created by H. Hammerly). http://www.chaserace.com/s2000/s2000hitches.html

 

Although he did it without issue, I don't think it is safe to say that towing a 3000lb. boat is "quite reasonable" with an S2000.... The issue that I have with the whole thing is whether or not he is going to be able to control the car correctly (i.e. brake and steer) with a couple jet-skis behind it. One of my friends had an 02 Celica GT that he towed a single jet-ski with, so I'm sure that the S "could" do it, it just sounds unreasonable almost as a matter of principle on a car like this.

Or maybe it just seems too white trash to me to tow marine vessels with your Honda.... I kid, I kid....
