I thought about this thread on the way to work this morning when I had a early 2000's F150 pull out in front of me pulling a 27ft cabin cruiser. The tag on teh trailer was paper so he just got it. I was able to get next to him and could tell the poor truck was stock 4.6L V8 truck with no tow package, the Uhaul hitch was dead give away. Way to much boat for that truck.
Reason I am bringing that up is because if this new boat owner bought this boat from a dealer they should have never let him leave the lot towing it with that truck. Same goes for you if you buy a 9700# boat. In other words pay attention to the weight not what the dealer tells you about what they think your truck can tow safely.
