It should pull your rig fine.
"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Had a 04 Silverado 4WD 5.3 got rid of it two years ago.
Pulled a Triton TR-21 with it.
It will do it but not as easily as the newer models with more hp and 6-8 speed transmissions. Make sure yoy use tow haul mode.

If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
This a serious question... of course it will pull it.
I pull a 24’ enclosed car hauler with a 3600 lb car in it with a 5.3. No issues....

You’ll want the 3.73 rear end option if you’re looking to pull with any kind of authority. Those 4 speeds could sound like they were coming apart on larger hills at interstate speeds when they downshift if using cruise control.

I have a 5.3 POS Silverado 2007 two wheel drive. It has a 3:73 or such rear gear with the G-80 option. I think it would pull that boat no problem, and a 4x4 should have an equal or better gear ratio.
Although I really feel I got screwed when I bought this POS I feel 315 horsepower should be sufficient for boat towing.
I believe it will do what you’re asking just fine. I have a 04 SuperCrew F150 with the 5.4 motor which is a gutless pos but I’ve pulled many trailers and my little boat just fine, it stops very well too.
Idk exactly what your boat weighs but at the ramp yesterday morning a guy had a Phoenix 21 with a 250 opti and dual poles and he was using a shortbed Chevy 1500...maybe an ‘09 and he said it pulled and stopped just fine. Beautiful rig!

I have a 04 Silverado 5.3 4x4 z71 with 3.73 gears, I pull a 08 stratos 285 and I've always used 3rd gear, the boats not heavy enough to need tow haul.
When I bought the truck new I asked mechanic about towing with it, he advised to never use over drive.
If it has the towing package, which comes with a transmission cooler, I would think that using OD on the interstate would be fine. However if you’re in a hilly area I could see it creating higher temps in the drivetrain with the constant shifting.

Used the same truck to tow a Ranger Z-20 for years. Don't remember what gear ratio. It came with the tow package. Tranny cooler etc. Did just fine. Boat and trailer were just about 4,000 lbs.

How do I know if it has a transmission cooler?
The aux cooler should he right behind the grille
