How about a 182 with a hook fitted?

Anyone can fly it, it's covered in aluminum, and during the week,
members can take it on trips.

At your elevation and that kind of money, how about a new towplane?
We already have a pretty nice 180 Super Cub - But on a hot day with no wind and a full G-103, takeoffs take patience...

So the Scout or Husky probably wouldn't change that equation unless they had the bigger engines, which drives the cost much higher.

And they are fabric covered - so no benefit there.

So a rebuilt Pawnee is probably a better choice there. Just my opinion, while I have been towed behind Scouts and Huskies (OK but not spectacular), I've never towed in one.
