Default Mustang V6 tow question

ok so here's the question...this winter I will be moving from Ansonia, Connecticut to St. Petersburg, Florida and I can't wait lol
so here's my question... I have two vehicles...an 87 mustang GT v8 5 spd...and a 2000 mustang convertible v6 auto
it does seem that the best car to use would be the V8...
but I'd like to know if the v6 has enough balls (stock) to pull around a standard sized Jet Ski

I wanna move down to FL and just go all out..I would love to own a boat eventually once I have the cash
so would it work?? ...I'm not expecting to pull a boat around...but I heard that a jet ski is do-able

I would say the V6 would pull it just fine,plenty of power.If you do pull alot i would suggest more frequent trans. services and think about using a synthetic fluid.

I pulled more than that in my Focus over the Appalachians.
