I have to disagree. *At that weight it's even more important but you would need a weight distribution system on the hitch. *To tow that heavy of a boat you would need a minimum of 3/4 ton truck, preferably a 1 ton, w/tow package. *900 pounds is not too much for that truck. *I wouldn't go 15%, but 10 is fine.
