For your 2007 Crest pontoon boat, I recommend using the Fulton XLT 2-Speed Trailer Winch # F142425. This is a top-of-the-line boat trailer winch, it has 2-speed gearing for faster retrieval, and a corrosion-resistant zinc finish and polypropylene cover. It has a 3,200 lb capacity and comes with a 20' strap.

I have attached a review video of the above winch for you as well as a photo of it installed.
