My brother has had a good run with Nissan Patrol turbo diesel..
The Terri comes in 4wd..
AWD not 4WD.

hey dude had a bayliner 212 a very similar boat to yours .tried several different vehicles and settled on the Ford explorer V8
its not the goa you have to worry about its the whoa and the handling........
All is cool when its dry but when it is wet different story
The terri could do the job but is just on the light side in my view which is why I did not buy one for a boat of this size.Land rover was useless both patrol and land cruiser 6 cyl (older models)I could walk faster
I actually towed the monster one day behind the mighty XR8 ute and it was fairly exciting experience

Cheers
