re: Towing a boat with 1/2 ton truck.

As others have said, your truck will do it, but not safely. I towed (around 6k lbs) annually to Kentucky and it was always a stressful trip with 1/2 ton truck..
You have to constantly pay attention to stop (even with trailer brakes). Plus people on the road don't care that you're towing. They'll pull out in front of you pr get over quickly without thinking twice.
Once I did it with a 3/4 ton diesel, I'll never go back to the 1/2 ton gasser.
My take.... if you have a $200k boat, you should have no problem having a 3/4 ton truck to pull it.
