Not to worry, he's just going a short distance down the road. What could possibly go wrong? Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

My sundancer 290 loaded to the max with fuel, water, beer and everything for 3-4 days is 14k on the steel trailer. So if he is totally dry, with the aluminum trailer… and he has a 8.5 beam vs my 10 ft beam… he might be over by 1 or 2 thousand lbs.

BUT you have to remember that old trucks like 7.3L F250/350 can easily tow 5-6 thousand pounds over their factory 10k rating ! (It’s been a while since we have gone down that rabbit hole)

That's a 3/4 ton burb. Not a half ton. As pointed it's barely squatting. Idk the weight of the boat or true rating of that 3/4. But that doesn't seem like the most unsafe decision. Like pulling a fountain with a porsche?

The only problem I see is he doesn't have extended side towing mirrors. Everything else looks darn good ship it we're going to Havasu
