If you are only towing a small 1600# boat to the end of the street now and then I would borrow the neighbor's truck and spend the $1600 (plus the extra insurance/tax $$$) on an FM2 kit for your Miata...
I am not a boat guy, but can't you tow a 1600# boat up a boat ramp with a 230 HP Miata? I know you probably shouldn't take something like that out on the road due to the relative weight, but to the end of the street @ 10 MPH is a whole different thing. If you do sink the Miata, make sure you have your roll bar cam turned on so we can watch it on youtube.
