Aprox towing weight?

[AVNTech]

Hi. I'm considering a 25 ft cuddy cabin. Like a Pursuit Tiara with twin OBs, on a double axle trailer. I'm currently using a Ram 2500 4x4 CTD with 3.55 gears. What would the aprox weight of a boat and trailer like this be around? I'm just spit-balling things at the moment, trying to figure how much boat I can pull and still keep my camper on the back! Thanks.

Boats in that size can vary greatly in weight.
The pursuit 25 wa that I look up was 4300, plus trailer, fuel, batteries, gear motor(s). Puts you in the 6000# range.

What does the camper weigh with all the gear, and passengers.

Then you need to consider all the truck rating info, not just the towing capacity.

Figure the boat/trailer package is around 7k lbs with twins.

Thanks, I figure it will be safer to just tow without the camper. The trucks an 01, and I don't have 19.5 wheels, so caution will win out. Boats seem to be considerably heavier than RVs of similar length! Your input pretty much confirmed what I was suspecting. Hmmm, maybe I can convince the "keeper of the purse" that a new truck is required!!!!
