Not the exact same boat but close. 21' cheiftain, 3/4 plywood floor, full of fuel, 15hp kicker, probably 200lbs fishing gear (lots of lead), couple bicycles, crap pots, and such. 140 hp 4 banger
4100 lbs on the trailer axles, I guess I have 400 lbs tongue weight. Trailer weight ? tandem axle steel tailer.

I've been wondering that myself. My 21 ft (holiday mach IV, I think) came on a trailer saying rated for 2300 lbs. This weight thing says 1985 before gear, and changing to jet drive. I may need a new trailer. Thanks for the link. But my wife isn't happy.

Not done yet but my calculations tell me my Islander might weigh in the 2000# to 2400# range. We'll see!
