Re: guess the weight of this boat

Its going to be way under 3500. My 19ft bayliner with 3.0L sterndrive weighs under 2700 with a full tank of fuel sitting on the trailer.

Re: guess the weight of this boat

Depending on the 17' model you have, the boat should be around 1100-1200lbs, plus motor, plus trailer, etc.

So my guess is with gear, fuel, motor, boat, trailer you'd still be well under the 3500lbs tow capacity of your Pacifica.

Here's where you can get some more details

sweet thanx i thought as much. i had a 20' crestliner 5.0 merc that with trailer was supposed to be around 4000lbs but it towed like it was 8000lbs.

Re: guess the weight of this boat

Nada says it weighs just over 1000lbs - then figure another 300lbs? for the motor and under 500 for the trailer
