Seeing as though you are towing a boat that (if I read the original thread correctly) would weigh 1000 pounds with motor and gear, I would say you would be doing fine. Most vehicles are rated lower than what they can really handle for purposes of safety and manufacturer liability most notably for those drivers out there who think they can do just whatever they want....those types who really could get a darwin award if they put their mind to it... 
If the boat and gear only weigh around 1000 pounds, the trailer itself will probably be around 400 or so at most (I'm guessing this is a 14 foot boat w/ maybe a 25hp motor?)
The only concern I would have would be the ramps on which you plan on launching your boat at. If the ramp is steep, you might find it harder to get out of the water, and if the ramp is sand, it may only dig down....
