Woah, that's a pretty heavy boat!

Weight distribution systems are typically rated by the range of tongue weights they can cover. If you've positively confirmed the as-loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your boat to be 1200 lbs (see linked article which explains how to determine this), then the # BLU27FR Blue Ox TrackPro you'd looked at would work great for you. The # BLU27FR is compatible with trailers having tongue weights ranging from 1000-1300 lbs. You'll also need a pole tongue adapter, part # BXW4023.

I'll link you to a product demonstration video for the # BLU27FR TrackPro weight distirbution system.
