As others have already stated, you'll be fine. I pull my 20ft boat all the time and don't have any problems. I was a bit worried about pulling up the ramp, but I honestly haven't ever even really spun the tires. Just ease on the throttle and it'll tug it right out of the water. My boat weighs in at 3500lbs, probably another 800 for the trailer.

I see 150+ degrees LESS heat at WOT on my race tune going down the track than I do pulling a 3,000 lb trailer up a hill at 65 mph with a dyno tested tow tune and that is a fact. Keep the loads reasonable, boost down, tune safe, etc etc, common sense and you'll be fine. but just b/c they can pull a heavy load at 100 mph doesn't mean you should if you know what i'm saying.
I will be pulling the same setup, so if everything goes as stated here I should have smooth sailing.
