At the two hardest moments — breaking the hull off wet rollers at the start, and the final stretch once the boat is clear of the water and its whole weight hangs on the line. Run 5:1 through the middle and direct drive for slack, and the retrieve stays comfortable.
Add it up properly: hull, motor, full fuel, batteries, gear and whatever lives in the lockers. Then allow for a steep ramp, worn rollers and a wet surface, all of which lift the load the winch actually sees. Borderline against the rating means go to the bigger unit.
Only take the bare drum if the line you are transferring is genuinely sound — no kinks, no broken strands, no rust weeping out of the lay. Most people fitting a new winch are also overdue for new line. Measure winch post to bow eye before you choose either.
