Re: Ouchita Spirit...anybody know the weight?
Thanks for the replies guys!
TD - I would love to tow it down to the landfill and have it weighed, but like I said, I'm afraid to pull it down the road because the tires have knots (bulges) in them and they are a little dry rotted too. I was hoping somebody might know an approximate weight so I could get the right tires without having to tow it anywhere.
Jeff, I am currently using 155/80/R13 tires with a 4 bolt wheel. The load rating is 950 lbs per tire, and I know the rig exceeds 2000 lbs easily. The reason I'm suspicious is that the tongue weight is more than I can lift by myself, I'd guess 300 to 400 lbs, but it is well balanced. From what I can tell the hull is 3/4" wood sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass...which would be very heavy. I hope the wood isn't wet, because that will add some serious weight as well.
Again, thank you both for the help. I might just end up putting some new 5 bolt hubs on with some 15" wheels that will hold a wider tire. Or, for about the same price I could probably find a used tandem axle trailer, but I like how the current trailer fits my garage. It has about 4 inches to spare at each end.hehe
Many thanks,
Hunter
