I'll need to tow my boat with this car as well so I might need to change out the tailpipes to get the tow hitch to fit.

The hitch for the 4th gen cars bolts to the frame in 3 places on each side so it's definitely safe and it actually helps reduce body flex. My 93 hooked up better with it and it's very low profile so most people didn't even notice it.

that may be, but i can guarantee you they did not have towing in mind when they designed the frame.
very nice car though. wouldnt call it a beater, but you cant beat a 4th gen ss...
