It is important to note that Anthony is in Wales. As in the United Kingdom.
I would side on the caution side. The published weights for Boston Whalers are NOT accurate.
You need to factor worse case. Imagine the boat, full of gear and fuel AND filled with rainwater (by accident). The last thing you want is the trailer to fail.
Go for an axle rated for 2,000 lbs
I think the trailer brakes rule for the UK is:
Any trailer weighing over 750 kilograms, including its load, must have a working brake system.

My only visit to Wales, Arrived in a local B&B on the side of a valley in a small hamlet after 36 hrs of international travel. Woke up the next morning to see two fully loaded RAF Tornado's a few hundred feet away doing a low level run down the valley on their way to a practice range. I could see the pilots helmets.
