JRP is correct with his 9000 LB estimate for a fully loaded boat, motor, and trailer for that boat. When you say you want to know if your truck can pull the boat as is, that depends. Almost any truck can be abused on short trips to the launch ramp and tow more than they are rated for. It is the long distance trips over up and down terrain that will challenge the brakes and a cooling system that are not meant to tow such weight let alone the suspension. If you want to successfully trailer that boat no matter what the distance, up and down grades, and weather conditions, then you will need a 2500 series truck. If you are looking to tow a couple of times a season to put the boat in at the local ramp, then you might get away with a smaller truck.
