Not sure what style of aluminum boat with 60 hp o/b you are speaking of. Many different hull shapes will tow in different ways and handle seas in different ways. Each towed small boat has its own peculiar needs for tow rigging, distance off stern, speed of tow... etc. Photos please. Chances are if it’s a sound seaworthy runabout that it will tow well in most conditions if everything is set up correctly for towing.
