I looked up your 2012 Cadillac SRX and it has a towing capacity of 2,500 lbs so as long as the boat and trailer weigh less than that you'd be fine with this as your tow vehicle.

For a trailer hitch the Curt part # C13002 would be a great option with more capacity than you'd need plus a relatively easy install. Then for trailer wiring all you'd need is the # 118259 for an easy install.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
