We definitely have a boat winch that is capable of winching your 5,000 lb boat. I recommend the 3,200 lbs Fulton XLT, 2-Speed Trailer Winch part # F142425 which will be more than enough to winch the 5,000 boat trailer as long as you have good rollers on the trailer and won't be winching really long distances. As long as your rollers are good you really only need half of what the boat weighs in winch capacity. The Fulton XLT is a great option because it comes with a 20 foot 2 inch wide strap and 5.1:1 high gear ratio.
