Diesels have a tone of torque, but not as much power. In general terms that means they are not fast but can pull a lot. I don't think the 240 would be that much slower pulling the boat than it is normally. I would not tow with an auto transmission though. The auto tranny will get hot under the extra load. The 114 and 115 came with several different radiators. Some with internal transmission coolers, some with external. I suppose you could retrofit a bigger or better tranny cooler,. Even if you do that I think the already suspect auto tranny will give you trouble.
