You also need to think about weight and balance if you are going to carry much weight back there. I did a "what if" calculation (well, actually Dan Checkoway did it for me with his W&B calculator) figuring the weight of two sets of skis down the tunnel of a 7 (my skis w/bindings weigh 16.5 pounds). It turned out that IF I used an IO360 and a CS prop and put as much weight as possible forward I could do it with adequate fuel to get someplace and still be within the limits. Its amazing how much a pair of skis weighs when you put them on a scale, my full set of golf clubs weigh just short of 11 pounds (Steel Shaft LW, SW, PW, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3hybrid, graphite 3W, Driver), the moment arm will be shorter for the clubs, as the majority of the weight is in the club heads, so that works in your favor. So two full sets of clubs with a folded up travel bag in the baggage compartment should be easily doable. Again - need to do the W&B calculations with fuel and baggage factored in to see what works.
