How heavy a sailboat could I realistically tow with a 245? 200

No problem, but I agree that 1500 lbs. is maybe a lead dingy.
My Holder 14 weighed 385 +250 for the trailer; I towed that, filled with gear, all over the mountains of northern CA. with 2 different 245s.
I also agree the a transmission cooler is a good idea.
Realistically, I wouldn't go over ~2K lbs, mostly due to lack of power.
The 765T pulls my Prindle 16 much more smartly.
