| it's pretty much the same regardless of what brand boat you buy.
if it does not have brakes, a standard flat 4-pin plug is all you need to run the lights.
if the trailer has surge brakes, you'll need a flat 5-pin plug. the extra line on the plug disengages the brake solenoid when you put the truck in reverse so you can back up without activating the surge brakes.
you can get in-line adapters to convert your truck's flat 4-pin into flat 5-pin; or to convert a 7-round into a flat 5-pin at most any trailer or marine store. the adapters mean that if you've currently got a 4-flat, you should be fine with whatever boat you end up getting.
with the size of the boats you're considering, trailer brakes will probably be optional. that said, i think they're one of the better options to get - the additional safety from being able to stop more quickly is money well spent.
