electric trailer winch size?

[boatflounder]

What size electric winch do I need to pull my 220 escape onto the trailer? Im guessing the boat weight at app. 4000lbs. Wife has already told me if Im good this could be under the christmas tree, but I have to tewll her exactly what we need. Also due tosome recent surgeries we havent been able to take the boat out since i cant handle the handle, sorry that just came to me, anywAay im limited in my strength right now and have another surgery in a month or so. So I think if i can find the right info I might be able to get christmas early this year!
Thanks in advance for your help.

My boat weights 4500 dry, I use a 4000lb elect winch for the past 3 years with no problems.

you also have to consider having to tow vehicle rigged, to handle the power load of the winch.
