towing a boat with the 9-5...

I know it's the end of the boating season...or at least it is getting close to the end here in New england..
Very seriously looking for a sailboat...without getting into too much detail - the class of boat i'm looking at displaces about 1900 punds, with another 500 lbs for trailer - totals about 2400 lbs. I know that the 9-5 per the manual states 3500 lbs towing capacity - for trailer with brakes...wanted to know who's towed a boat/trailer/whatever in the weight range.
My towing needs would be short distance - about 4 miles from my house to Long Island Sound. MIGHT due a 200 mile trip to Cape Cod, but other than that 99% of towing will be very short distance.
Any insight appreciated...and don't tell me to dock the boat..in my town the wait list for a slip is at least 10 years...
thx
