I just purchased a Powerwinch RC 30 Wireless Remote Trailer Winch. Rated to pull 11,500 boat. 4000 pound vertical lift. Comes with pulley that ups vertical pull to 7500 pounds. Has built in light and key fob wireless remote. 40' cable. Comes with wiring. I paid $450.00. I'm using it on my bunk trailer with a 29' Fountain with twins. Probably a bit lighter than your boat. I will try it without the pulley first and use the pulley only if needed. I pretty much had to float the boat on the trailer with the hand wench. I'm hopeful that I will not have to put the wheels in the water with the power wench. The RC 30 was the most powerful I found online. Good luck with your search.

I just installed a Fulton F2 3200#.
2 speed plus the handle has 4 length positions for leverage.
nicely machined and very smooth. Installed a separate HD 2" strap rated 10k. ws20hd600
Only been on two weeks but a huge step up from the standard stamped winches
