I assume that last statement was actually a question.
If so, the answer would be, "depends". Same answer for the question "Can I trailer a car?"
Not all cars and boats weigh the same thing, so it's a question that is too vague for a solid answer, however the general answer is that a 3.08 rear end has a lower towing capacity than a 3.42 rear end (it has the benefit of a higher fuel economy average, though) and that a "weight carrying" set up would be overweight with some larger boats and most full sized cars on a full trailer.
Most boats and such you should be fine with, but anything over around a 4500 lb boat/trailer is pushing it if it doesn't have any weight distribution or trailer brakes, etc...
