I know the tounge weight is probably about 200

Yea, that’s what I’d be worried about too. But you should be backing up far enough to get water in the clutch, which would be really bad news as you’d be stuck until the clutch dries.
For short trips I’d think you’d be fine as I doubt your boat is that heavy but for comfort and stability sake I wouldn’t try going cross state with that setup.
500/1000 lb is pretty typical Class III receiver hitch specs, IIRC.
Edit: I didn't recall correctly, Class III receiver hitch specs are 500/5000.
