We should turn this into a pool. Everybody put in a buck, and when he goes and weighs it, closest guy gets the pool.

A 1993 17.5 Invader with a 135 horse I/O weighs 2250, according to the ABOs Marine Blue Book. Add about 1000 for a single axle trailer.<br /><br />Or go to the truck stop and put it on the scale.

I agree with hystat. <br /> My 1987 VIP W/4.3L Cobra and single axle trailer weighs in at 2860 on a single axle steel trailer with full fuel tank. :D

Well, we can look up the trailer too.<br /><br />I was quoting a 19-foot Eagle trailer, single axle with brakes, 15 inch rims. 1050 pounds.
