Hello everyone. I'm new here, I have just purchased a '95 24ft.Playbuoy pontoon with a 55 Suzuki ob. The boat came with the trailer that was made for the boat. I cannot find weight of this boat but the new ones weigh 19 hundred and change, the trailer weighs 700lbs. and my guess is the motor weighs 200 max, totalling out at approx. 2800 lbs. The tires on the trailer are hi speed trailer e rated 20.5x8.0-10 rated at 1535 lbs. Are these tires up to the job? I have a 6 hr. tow to northern Ontario where the pontoon will be staying . Thanks for your help :confused:
