Stratos 176XT tongue weight

[1packerfan]

Hi,
newbie here to the forum, and I am looking for some info about the approximate tongue load of a Stratos 176xt. I know that many factors such as fuel, fishing gear, and position of boat on the trailer will affect the tongue load, but after searching around here for a bit I wasn't able to find an approximate tongue load for this boat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am looking at buying a new boat.
Thanks!

Like you said, there are too many variables to give an estimated weight. Lift it up and sit it on some bathroom scales.

If I owned the boat already that would an easy way to check it out. I'd like to find out before I buy one, and I must admit I would feel a little bit strange bringing my bathroom scale to the dealer.

I didn't state it in my first post, but the 176xt that I have been looking at is with a 70hp motor on it as well. Even if someone has any idea with a 50, 60,or 75 hp motor that info would be of great help as well.

My best guess would be 50-75#'s! Depends on where the spare tire is!
