I have been wanting to get a boat for a years, I have a 2007 kia sportage 2.0L fwd. would this be sufficient enough to pull a aluminum v-hull with trailer?

Anyone towing with something similar?

link on ya car I found looks like you should be able to handle a small boat like a 14fter
Just keep a eye on your brakes for over heat on hills is all ....

Hi,
I am thinking of purchase a 2007 Kia Sportage. I want to get the best deal possible. However i can't get it until end of june. Obviouslty by then it has depreciated in value by certain percentage. I want to know what is the depreciation rate for 2007 Kia Sportage.
