Get your new pontoon boat trailer with surge brakes then you don't have to worry about anything expect the light plugin - they wear well and the maintenance is very low - the F150 will be able to handle the load but the biggest thing I have found is to have a good set of mirrors. You will be backing this long load down some boat ramps that will seem like the I-15 freeway at 5 p.m.
Also - A marriage saver - get a pair of walkie-talkies to talk to the driver from the boat while loading and unloading your new craft - they will save you plenty of headaches.
Good luck and change for tranny fluid yearly is you pull your craft alot - prevention is cheaper than the cure...
Good luck and watch the wind in those high profile boat - It will grab you...
