[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 484450, member: 15636"] Weights should be fairly easy to get. Go to something like www.nadaguides.com and look up that hull or a comparable hull, and OB, as NADA lists their weight. For a trailer you might need to go to the trailer maker. Now for example, if truly 675 #s hull weight, add 250 #s for a 60hp 2-stroke motor, 400 to 500 #s for a decent 16' trailer and another 100 #s for fuel and misc gear and you're at ... 1,525 #s gross. Regardless of actual weight without going way, WAY over, you need to be aware of braking and your transmission. Keep a good, multiple car lengths distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you. If you trailer far and long, then that rig gross weight might be questionable in the long run. You surely don't want to burn out your SUV transmission in the process ... [/QUOTE]
