I reached out to Demco and the Demco Tow Bar Adapter for Duncan Base Plates # DM9523017 you referenced does not have a specific tow weight rating. It's towing capacity is going to match the maximum weight capacity of the Duncan base plates you are using.
If you do not already have a Demco Tow Bar I highly recommend taking a look at the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012 due to its non-binding arms that make unhooking your vehicle easy even on un-even ground, and offers... view full answer...

I went ahead and contacted my tech at Roadmaster, and he confirmed that while he doesn't have the exact measurement below the bumper where the Base Plate # RM-521424-5 installs on a 2004 Jeep TJ, he did confirm that the pins on the baseplate sit 17.25" from the ground. This is with standard 215/75R15 tires. This is super helpful for you to compare with your current setup if you have a lift kit or larger tires installed.

After doing a little bit of research I was able to determine the maximum tongue weight of your 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ is 300lbs and your maximum towing capacity is 2000lbs. So given the parameters that you're describing, you should be able to tow a small boat in your TJ. In case you don't already have a hitch you may want to look at the Curt Class III Receiver # 13430 , which is sized to fit your Jeep. To go along with the hitch you need the trailer wiring # 118356 and a ball mount. The... view full answer...
The space between the ears of tow bar adapter # RM-035-1 is slightly more than 1 inch to fit D-Ring tabs that are 1 inch thick. The hole for the pin is 1 inch in diameter. The pin itself is 7/8 inches in diameter. For D-ring tab holes that are 1 inch you would use the included sleeve with the pin. D-ring tab holes that are 7/8 inches you would just use the pin without the sleeve. view full answer...

You will want to check the owners manual of the 1997 Jeep TJ for the official towing capacities but I am fairly certain it can handle 2,500 pounds of gross trailer weight.
What you will want to add is a transmission cooler since you will be towing in the mountains. The extra weight of the trailer and items in it combined with the hilly mountainous terrain will put a lot of stress on the transmission. Adding a cooler will lower the temperature of the fluid and increase the life of the transmission.
