I had a hitch installed at UHaul. I've towed a small (5x8) UHaul trailer from Washington DC to Tampa, and from Tallahassee FL to north Alabama. No problems...'cept my fuel mileage dropped to 12mpg with my usual 31mpg 4-banger!
Boat hitch for g6?
So im looking at towing a 13 1/2 boat on my g6 which is really light and I was wondering if there are any hitches I can install on my car?

The 07 G6 manual says you should should never tow anything weighing more than 1,000 lbs, but even that might be too heavy.
Past experience with other vehicles has taught me that air drag on the front of a trailer is equally important.
Sounds like the boat will be less than 1000 lbs, and drag should not be an issue.

bought one
I found a hitch and waiting to get it installed, I'm not towing anything crazy, just a small 13 1/2 boat which the trailer weighs like 145 and the boast like 40-50lbs, I should be good.

May I ask what hitch you went with?
A while back I did some research on trailer hitches for my Civic and my G6. All I would ever tow is a set of bicyles on a rack but the hitches themselves are very sturdy.May I ask what hitch you went with?
Try these folks out.

Just curious what a "13 1/2 boat" is, that only weighs 40-50 lbs 
I found a hitch and waiting to get it installed, I'm not towing anything crazy, just a small 13 1/2 boat which the trailer weighs like 145 and the boast like 40-50lbs, I should be good.
