Although I usually suggest the Escape Hybrid like xntrx in threads like these, I would think that vehicle might be a bad idea. The reason why is because it only has a load capacity of like a 1000 pounds. It's not driving forward that's the issue, it's driving backwards. In reverse the hybrid only uses the battery/motor, so it can't have heavy loads in reverse, something you need to do to get the boat in the water. The other reason is because the batteries are just under the rear cargo area. If you accidentally get water in there...

Other than that, I think the Escape would be a great idea. How much elevation change?
