Why not look at the rated towing capacity of the truck and compare it to the weight of the boat?
Thats too easy.
Plus it doesn't take into account ramp angle. Wet surface. Extra resistance of pulling something through water.

It's not so much pulling the boat as it is stopping the boat. A small truck can pull, however the chassis may struggle to keep the weight under control and the brakes may not be sufficient.
I've seen people pulling out boats here with compact FWD suv's, just because it can doesn't mean I'd recommend it.
