Why not just rent a 3/4-ton or 1-ton when you need to tow it?
Yeah this was my thought also. The boat will live on a lift in Pensacola all the time. The only exception is that I have to pull it off the lift if a tropical storm/hurricane is within so many miles of the marina. It'll never get towed except for then. I could probably borrow or rent a 3/4 truck the few times I have to haul it.
Trying no to turn a $200K boat into a $300K boat with a new truck purchase!

Sell the trailer. Insure boat. Problem solved.

I wouldn't count on borrowing any man's truck when a hurricane is beating down. That's how you go from friends to "this motherfricker over here" thinking your boat is more important than their shite. That said, you need to prepare yourself for no being able to rent or borrow. Are you comfortable pulling it with your truck?
