How big of a boat? My thinking is unless you are getting a Light version of a 5th wheel then the frame is strong enough. Not really any difference across brands until you get into the heavy duty type 5th wheels. Have someone weld a hitch onto the frame rails. Buying used you don't have a warranty to worry about. If you're towing a small 1000 lb boat with a 120 lb tongue weight I don't see the issue at all especially if you're staying under the 5th wheels GVWR. Wouldn't be any different than putting an extra 1,000 lbs in the 5th wheel.
Boat and trailer fully loaded is less than 1500. It is a old 16. Ft aluminum V-hull
