Besides the additional cost of about $3900... I would be overloading
my tow capacity by 500 lbs... about 33% more than the RAV4 is rated
for.
i.e 2000 lbs vs about 1300 for the smaller boat.
What to do?

Get a real man's truck?
That's what I'm thinking, too. A full size Chevy 1500 4X4 will tow
10,000# and still get an unloaded 22 MPG on the Hwy.
Then you can get a real boat, too.
That seems like a big expense for a retired working class hero who
enjoys a short 4-5 month boating season..
More boat-more fun.
