Same here 2 speed 3500 with a 12,000 pound strap from Champion trailer, get the 12,ooo cause he 10,000 is only 2" wide, the 12,000 is 3" wide and fits the winch perfect!!

Re: Trailer winch size?
So.......Does the capacity need to equal the boat weight? I wasn't sure since it is only pulling it up onto the trailer. Thanks for the help.

It should be a little stronger than the boats weight.

Re: Trailer winch size?
boat weight dry is like 2500# so 3500 is about right and the weight the winch is for is dead pull and you have a rolling load
