I've towed a boat tandem behind my 5er since about 1999. I have not towed through the states that you mention, but I'll share my experiences and you can take them for what they are worth.

Trailer brakes on that 5000# boat rig?
Surge brakes, most likely.
Personally, I'd like to know what Bionic Man did to beef up the frame on his FW to handle that trailer load.

5er frame was reinforced all the way forward of the axles.
Done correctly, then. :B
