Rick I think you will do just fine towing with your Jeep.The boat you describe would be no problem for your jeep.
I pull my 16 ft Lund with a Honda Odyssey max towing is 3500lbs .My set up is around 1500lbs barely know its there.
I also pull a Tent trailer 2614 lbs empty ,when its full its over 3000lbs my van pulls it with eaze.I do have brakes for the tent trailer but not required for the boat.
I think you will be just fine with your jeep so go buy that boat and enjoy bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
