I thought you already have the X3. I definitely would not buy one planning to pull a V20, there are a bunch of much more capable suv's out there. I don't think the X3 has a low range transfer case to help pull the boat up the ramp and that will be really hard on the clutch. The X3 doesn't have a ton of low end torque and you will have to ride the clutch to get the power to get the boat out of the water. The X3 does probably have the power to pull it, just not the right torque curve.
If you have your mind set on an X3 get the auto not the manual transmission. You will start sticking clutches in the thing and they will NOT be covered under warranty.
