What's really interesting about boat straps like the # IMF14220 is that while they do secure the boat, which in your case is pretty heavy, the amount of weight capacity needed is really the weight of the trailer since basically you need the strap to keep the boat connected to the trailer in an emergency.
This strap kit would be what I recommend for you. It has a break strength of 2,500 lbs per strap which would be more than enough for the weight of your trailer.
