I have a 29 Fountain and just bought this (see link). It says it has a 10,000 lbs breaking strength. Compared to the one that I took off (because of freying) it seems much smaller. Should I get one with a higher breaking strength? Where would I be able to find something like that?

That's exactly why I wanted to changed it before it was a bigger problem. I am always very cautious about those things (when I tow I have my winch strap, safety chain, two straps in the front and two on the transom keeping the boat on).
Thanks everyone for the confirmation.
