You will not win any drag races, but you should be OK.

LOL, that is exactly what I say about our Trailblazer. I have a 19' Alumacraft Tournament Sport that I have pulled (not my regular tow vehicle) with our TB. Mine has the 3.42 rear end so that definitely doesnt help the low end in pulling situations.
It pulls it just fine. Make sure you dont use overdrive which I think most people with these smaller tow vehicles are aware of. I sometimes do, but I just make sure to watch the tach so its not shifting all the time.

I never use cruise. The computer cant predict a hill so all of a sudden it just hammers down. If I am not using cruise I can vary my speed accordingly like in advacne of a hill so I dont overwork the engine, etc.

It will pull that boat just fine. I wouldnt want to do it every day, but it will be fine.
