Hey Mike! Caliber Marine Slides # CA26AJ can handle the weight of your boat. However, for your 25' Pro-Line I recommend using the 3" wide Caliber Marine Slides # CA66AJ instead.

With a 5,000 lb fiberglass boat, the wider slide is the better choice because it spreads the hull’s weight over more surface area on the bunks. This helps avoid concentrating the load on a narrow strip. The 1-1/2" slides are better suited to smaller boats, pontoons, or PWCs.

Where are you headed next with the Pro-Line?

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
