I trailer a 450 lb. sailboat with a 400 trailer behind my 81 Buick
Skylark. I have my hitch bolted on the bumper and I have air shocks.
Unless you plan on trailering a lot, you may not need all that muscle.
Think about all the time you will be driving without that boat. The 
hardest thing trailering can do to a car or truck is the the things that
happen as a result of tight maneuvers like parking and backing. The
negative effects I've noticed are belts loosening and trans gasket loosening.
