When mine was new with a Suzuki 60, it should have weighed:
2,350 hull
+710 trailer
+350 (minor fuel), for a "book" total of 3.410.
The boat was essentially empty, but Mayflower begged to differ @ 3.740, gross trailer weight. They'll be happy to weigh yours for about ten bucks.
- * Be sure to get a reading with just the trailer axle on the scales, your net axle weight (mine was 3,560)
* Then release your hitch and crank the trailer's nose wheel down onto the scales to get full trailer gross wt. (3.740)
* The difference is your tongue wt. (only 180 pounds on tongue, too light)
