Need Help Calculating Weight for new Trailer

[phatdaddy]

"get away with" is not the smart thing on a trailer. not trying to be a smart a**, but if your planing on keeping the boat and using the boat, i'd go tandem. lot of guys have singles, but tandem much more forgiving.

but , that was not the original question. should be able to go into catalogue section, find a 77 or similar model and add fuel, gear and trailer weight to get a close guess

Babydrill you are not far from me! Come to va beach this summer and do some fishing!

The boat 1920lbs, the engine about 350lbs, throw in a couple of batteries 100lbs, fuel 320lbs.
You are up to 2690lbs and ain't got the boat loaded with ice, drinks, fishing crap, safety equipment, etc.
A 3500lb single axle has done fine for these boats (and what I have) but it is very close to the max. I have every intention to convert mine to a dual axle one day.

tsubaki is right on with his weight stats... I have an 85 V20 with a dual axle trailer and have had a few boats in my time.. I would not want to pull a boat 20' or over with anything but a dual axle trailer..
