Yes, but you will certainly stress the van to the point that you'll damage major drive train components: brakes, engine, transmission, and remember, just because you can make it move forward does not mean that you can stop it. Oh, almost forgot, you will also be putting your family/friends at very real risk of death when this boat, perhaps heavier than your minivan, passes you on a corner, or in a good cross wind. You might be able to get away with it once under pristine conditions, but any emergency that happens will leave you in deep trouble. SERIOUSLY !!! Please call either a dealer for your minivan, or a reputable hitch dealer to figure out what you need to do to tow this boat safely.
Without the pricey ($1,000-$1,200) Honda towing package, the tow rating is 0#! When you install the Honda package the rating is then 3,500# for trailer and 4,500# for boat.

The tongue of the boat trailer is the point where it hooks up to the hitch on the car. The length of the tongue is necessary to give some distance between the bow of the boat and the towing vehicle.
Only if you're towing the boat on a trailer.

Towing an 18 ft boat with a 4-cylinder car is possible, but it depends on the car's towing capacity and the weight of the boat and trailer. Many 4-cylinder cars have limited towing capacities, often ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. You should check the vehicle's owner manual for specific towing guidelines and ensure that the combined weight of the boat and trailer does not exceed this limit. Additionally, consider the car's braking power and stability when towing.
