Default Vehicle Towing Capacity - Conservatively Rated?

Greetings,

The rated towing capacity for our Honda Odyssey van is listed at 1,000
pounds. I have a 13' Whaler, which weighs 580 pounds. Add the motor
(208 pounds), the trailer (200 pounds??) and some fluids, and I'm
right at capacity.

I don't foresee a problem on level ground (there's no mountains here
in the Tampa Bay area), but I wonder if I'd have a problem at the
ramp, with the front wheel drive.

I've never owned a boat/trailer combination, so I'm wet behind the
ears when it comes to towing capacities, etc.

Thanks!
