re: Towing a boat with 1/2 ton truck.

Tbh, id only pull it short distances. That truck will pull it but it will struggle on over passes/bridges and speeding up. Fuel up right before you dock the boat may help some during your trip and carry your gear in your truck bed then put into boat when you dock, may also help. It will be a task to slope up/down during docking/undocking. Just rent a Ford 250. I did when I bought mine and went to 16hrs away to get my boat. Pulled it no problem.
