Should I buy a Land Rover Defender for towing and launching a boat?
I want to buy a vehicle to tow and launch my 18-foot boat. A front tow bar makes launching a breeze. I also want a second car suitable to for regular visits to the tip. The Defender 90 seems to be the answer. Any suggestions? I don't want to pay more that £6000.

The Defender makes the most sense because there is more of this sort of equipment available for it than for any other 4x4.
