[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 484469, member: 15636"] FYI, we can do that up here too (near Boston) at a [u]local moving company[/u] that has a truck scale. Others can check out ones near them! It's supposed to be $10 every time across the scale, but they let me weigh my truck, then the truck towing the 'loaded' boat. After launching that same day, they also let me drive across it now towing the empty trailer (yes, I added back any fuel used in the truck :wink: ). Note I once had weighed EVERY item aboard my boat when I ran an offshore boat for tuna, so I knew the weight of all my typical gear carried on board. The process and numbers obtained [b][i]was quite interesting! [/i][/b] Especially for an accurate determination of the trailer tongue weight, [color=#BF0000]which is a [b][i]critical[/i][/b] safety item![/color] [/QUOTE]
