Jeff,

I don't tow a boat (mine rides on the roof racks!) but do tow a 6x10 cargo
trailer pretty regularly with my Syncro. Trailer weighs about 1500 - 2000
lbs loaded, and I do 55 mph without pushing hard at all. I use a Dennis
Haynes hitch (very solid). Trailer brakes are a good idea. As suggested,
pulling the boat out of the water might be the toughest part. Why not head
to the lake and pull out someone else's boat to try it? Or buy a Syncro Westy!
