Re: Weight of Boat

Best way to find out is to go to a truck scale and have it weighed. Around here, any of the gravel pits will let you pull it on the scale, disconnect truck, and weight it for $5. Other estimates are just that. I've weighed a couple of homade trailers. One more word of advice, try to get to the pit at a time when they aren't as busy, and be courteous with truckers that are hauling loads for money. Hope that helps.

Re: Weight of Boat

There is a way to weigh it by putting a bathroom scale under the front at a set distance from the axel, checking the weight then moving the scale back a measured distance and checking the weight again.
After you have the 2 weights & 2 distances it's a simple calculation to work out the weight of the whole rig if you know the formula.
I found it on the internet but have since lost it.

If you were to furnish the vehicle type/model and the boat information, the experienced members on the trailer section would be able to give general, knowledgeable information as to you question.

Re: Weight of Boat

Stop by your local scrap yard and ask the guy to do you a favor and tell ya the weight:D(Done it before). Just subtract your trucks weight and bingo. IF I had to guess though, Is say between a ton or a ton.5:cool:

It was a 1997. Not going to get it though, the guy raised the price by $1000 when he got some calls on his ad...
