How heavy a sailboat could I realistically tow with a 245? 200

Volvo rated the 200 series to be able to tow 3500 pounds. I'm assuming that your 245 is equipped with the auto trans. I'd reccomend installing an auxiliary transmission cooler. I don't see any problem towing the boat that you described. Most of the people that I know who have had towing problems were towing with a manual gearbox. I don't know any who have had any problems towing with the 200 with the auto.
