I will address 2 things. First not all C and D rated tires are equal. Look carefully at what is stamped in the tire. The load can vary quite a bit.
Second I don't know what you've been looking at that drum and disc are a toss up. IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE. I've been pulling big boats, little boats, and medium size boats for 40 years and drum brakes don't hold a candle to disc. My current boat and the one previous both had disc. I no longer feel the need for electric brakes the disc surge brakes work so good. I'd never go back.
