You can spend about $3k on your current truck to make it handle the camper well if you don't tow behind it. If you are set on towing your boat, you really need a DRW for that weight camper.
I was considering that way with my F250. I already had air bags, I moved spare wheel to front bumper, I removed rear-mounted generator (turned only 90lb), took off one of propane tank, moved batteries to front of the camper and even I come close to tire rating, the camper was standing 12' tall and just thinking about catching tire blow was making my back wet.
