Expert Reply:
Based on everything you said in your question the Cushioned Ball Mount part # AMSCV-2 should work very well for you. This ball mount is designed to work on 2-1/2 inch hitches like what you have on your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD and has an 18k capacity which is more than enough for your sport boat and trailer that weigh a total of 12k. I attached a review video for this ball mount for you to check out also.
For a 2-5/16 inch ball with plenty of capacity you might also be interested in the Tow Ready Hitch Ball part # 63840.
