Default Towing a boat with a BA or EF.

Currently I own a nissan patrol ute and I'm looking at selling it due to not going 4x4ing anymore and miss having something fun to drive. I plan to sell my ute for about 25 to 30 with the slide on camper. Buy a boat for about 10 and a car for about 10 to 15.

I owned an ef fairmont with 5ltr a few years back until it was written off ( not my fault rear ended while waiting for a park) and loved it, great car to drive. I've been looking and narrowed my options for a car down to an ef/el or ba falcon/fairmont. seriously considering the BA Fairmont with 5.4 v8.

I'm concerned about towing a boat with a sedan as I have always towed with a 4x4. How does the above cars go towing both manual and auto, 4ltr 6 and 5ltr/5.4ltr v8. Boat will weight about the tonne mark at most and will normally be towed about 60km to 150km to local dams for barra season and about 40km in winter to salt water ramp.

Cheers.
