Don't let your engine battery get low as those Mercedes diesels take a lot of juice to start. Many of them don't have the emergency start switch that other motorhomes have to join the house battery to the chassis battery for starting.
Wrong on all points. The engine starts instantly - as long as you allow the wait to start light to go out. All of the ones I've seen have a switch to allow the house batteries to provide starting voltage.
To the OP,
Most new Sprinter chassis are rated to tow 4200 lbs +/-. A small boat, as long as the tongue weight is less than 500 lbs, is no problem. These things will do anything you ask of them to do without extra horsepower as long as you respect the chassis weight limits.
