Volvo has sold a reinforcement kit to up the trailer weight of the older models to 1800kg. It's really simple and OE-type is still available from Skandix for example. Found that 1900kg mentioned is valid in Germany?

That was about 1800kg, that would be the most load, I would suggest. In Germany the 740 is rated at 1900kg tow weight, if certain reinforcing strips are installed and the trailer is equipped with overrun brakes.
Usually 740 max trailer weight is 1500kg and 900 1600kg but the hitch might limit it lower. Most later models(around 96->) have 1800kg from the factory.

Boats do not weigh much. What do you do with your Volvo if you do not have a tow bar? Also known as a reversing sensor

This is an odd statement. Are you thinking of cute little boats towed over flat British roads by charming estate cars? Our 21' Sea Ray is ~4k lbs dry, not including the trailer. A Volvo literally could not tow it up the hill turning out of my driveway, forget getting it up into the mountains to the lake.
and now picturing a Volvo being dragged backwards down the boat launch into the water
