Boat towing question

[MRV99]

I pulled my enclosed trailer today for the first time with my raptor. 3000 dry and I had 1100 lbs in it. Pulled like a dream. Better than my 3.5 2015 Lariat. It is a single axel compare to dual axels so it carries a bit more tinge weight than dual axels.

Pulled my 21” travel trailer only 15 miles from my house to storage and that has about 500 tongue weight and it was easy.

2018 Raptor with Deaver +3HD, Eibach's on the front.
2019 XStar Boat 6k lbs+Trailer 1.7k lbs, converted to Electric over Hydraulic Brakes.
1. it will tow it, plenty of power, about 1" of drop, BUT the boat weights more than the truck and you can feel it, Over payload capacity with passengers, 700 lbs of tongue weight + 4 passengers 500 lbs.
2. So possible, but not legal, or that enjoyable.
3. I have dropped a fair amount of coin but in the end a 3/4 ton would be the way to go.

1000 lbs Aluma tandem trailer with 1,700 lbs Rzr XP Pro tows like a dream...

Pulled my Robalo R-200 Center Console on dual axle trailer with my '19 Raptor around town and a couple of trips of 120+ miles with no problems. Roughly 5500 lbs.

2018 SCREW: I'm towing a Robalo R242 5,200 lb dry weight add fuel, gear and trailer and have to total at least 7,500 lbs. Towing 200 mile round trip a few times a year. Towing is no problem, plenty of HP, but rear end is a bit soft. Timbren bump stops have been recommended and I will buy a pair if I decide to keep the Raptor v. trading for Super Duty.

If Deaver +3HD's won't do it, get the Superduty..

Tow my 23' Tige' Wakeboat fully loaded with fuel and gear (~7500 lbs) frequently, occasionally tow a 24' enclosed car hauler with a 3200 lb street rod (~ 6500 lbs) inside--pulls both effortlessly. I have a load leveling hitch for the car trailer but did end up installing Air Lift 5000 bags on the rear with Daystar cradles to help with the squat from the boat trailer.
