Default C-150/180 tow plane?

Hi,
Does anyone have experience using as a tow plane a C-150 with a 180hp
conversion? There is one on the market for a very good price. It has a
tow hook and a STOL kit already installed. Obviously, a Pawnee would
be the best choice. But, for 15-20K less, two seats and trike gear, it
seems a like a great opportunity. Currently, the local commercial
operator is using an old C-182. However, his plane isn't all that well
maintained. The plane would mainly be used for towing single place
ships without ballast, like my B4. The heaviest thing it would have to
tow is a L-13 or L-23.
Thanks much.
