What year? Check on nada.com it will give you the net weight. I just selected a ssv-177 in a 1985 vintage. It says 1100 lbs. Hope this helps. Here's the link.

looks like either an 80 or 83. those are the only two I see with the ssv178. and both show at 950lbs. Thanks a lot!

Don't forget to factor in engine, fuel and gear.
Here's a link to an ad for that boat

As per your Hull Identification Number your boat is a 1978 however Nada does not list that model for that year but it appears in the 1980 listing.

Your hull weight 950
Add your motor, fuel, battery, anchor, toys etc

You probably need an axle rated at least for 1500 lbs and I would go for a 2000 lb rated axle.
