Hi everybody, sorry for my english I come from Corsica in Mediterranean sea si we speak corsican, french and a little bit english !
In my island we love boats, we have lot of diversity on the sea and coast but there are much fishing boats.
So I havé à beautiful 1990 VIP Valiant 1850 outboard with a 115cv Mercury 2t, i love american Life and my silverado who pulls my VIP was my dream !
But I have nothing about specs for my boat, I need to change my trailer and I search the weight with and without motor…

If someone could help me it will be very cool !!! Thank you

Buy one that has a 3,000 lb capacity and you will be good to go . Shows 1920 empty , may or may not include your engine . Two stroke motors in that class are around 350 lbs . Gas is 8 lbs a gallon , add in batteries, oils , anchor safety gear and you may be a bit under that 3,000 lb mark . Better to get heavier load trailer than one that is on the border line of capacity.

Hi, thank you for your answer, I saw that but I don’t understand if it’s 1920lbs with or without motor… Thank you
generally dry weight is without fuel, gear, or motor

should be about 2350# with motor
