Default Need estimate of boat and trailer weight.

Hello folks, I am seriously considering the purchase of the Wellcraft V20 pictured below. I am concerned whether I have the towing capacity for it.

It is an 85 Wellcraft V20 with a 4 cylinder Merc Cruiser Inboard/Outboard 170HP motor on a dual axle trailer. Even the owner is not sure of the combined weight of the boat and trailer. Would anybody want to venture an educated guess of the weight of the boat + trailer ?

My vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Tacoma with 2.7 Liter I4 engine. And a Heavy Duty U-Haul Transmission Cooler. Towing capacity ? 3500-6500 lbs depending on who you believe.
