Re: Cobalt Weight
If you've already bought the boat, take it (carefully and slowly...or with a stronger tow vehicle) over to the nearest truck stop that has a scale and weigh the whole mess at once and get a true answer. Your life, and everyone else's life that you drive past, is dependent on you getting an accurate answer to this question. It's worth the $10 fee.<br /><br />If NADA says 2,700, I'd guess the boat is closer to 3,200 to 3,500 with gear, fuel, fluids, waterlogged stringers/foam/transom, etc. Plus trailer....a tandem weighs in probably 800 to 1,000? And be aware that your tow rating is based on a vehicle plus driver, and no luggage. So add another 800 lbs for your overweight friends and 2 coolers of beer you're hauling in the van. Where are we now, somewhere between 4,200 and 5,000 maybe?<br /><br />No matter how we dissect this, methinks you're overweight and you need a different tow vehicle. But no matter what numbers anyone throws around here, the only thing we know for sure is that we're all just guessing.
