3779 lbs.
This is fun.
When does the contest end, and when will you announce the winner--or the closest guess ?

Re: Guess my weight...win a prize...
4176lbs with stock aluminum trailer and rode to anchors with chain. Also added 2 gals of water in bildge. whole bunch of info missing like tire bracket, fuel in tanks,add ons from stock etc.
Also how much toung weight on hitch?
If weighing the Truck and Boat with trailer same time that would be considered gross weight of both and you need a seperate reading of just truck weight alone and subtract that from gross weight and add the toung weight. Other wise you need to put boat and trailer on weigh alone and you can do this at any gravel pit with weigh station.

Re: Guess my weight...win a prize...
The second guess was the winner. The weight ticket said "4400 lb" and I am subtracting 200 lb for the miscellaneous crap from the back of my truck for a boat and trailer weight of 4200 lbs. Bleakco was only off by 10 pounds. Unfortunately my scanner/printer is still somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic in a large packing crate on some cargo ship...so I am not able to scan the weight ticket. Can't get my wife's scanner/printer...which I mailed...to work with my computer.Bleakco wrote:4210#![]()

Just for those that wondered...the trailer was disconnected from my truck but I did place the items from the back of my truck on the scales so I could get paid for moving them as well. The truck was off the scales. Turns out there was no need to take those items out of my truck...I only had 3862 pounds left of my authorized weight to move so that is all I will get paid for.
Now I have to think of a suitable "prize" for Bleakco...I am thinking I will honor him and his boat by posting a picture of his boat on my webpage. Honors just don't get much better than that...
Cheers,
