Wondering how much my latest boat weighs.

[newtons law]

Recently got a 1984 Galaxy conquest that's 19.5' long and has the 3.0 engine. It's a runabout with walk through windshield. Trailer is a single axle ( three" pile type),and has no brakes. Got to looking and noticed the tires seemed toed out a lot,and the axle id bowed down instead of almost level. Thinking either someone hit a lot of bumps or that axle isn't strong enough for the weight of this boat. Sticker on axle says it's rated for 3500#. Can't find the specs on this boats weight.

Weigh it.

Being 41 years old, it is probably holding many pounds of water

Sounds like you're looking to get a new trailer. Maybe ask around near your marina for some boat launch services. They may have a scale. Scott is right too, for the age of the boat it could be holding more weight. Also, if you're shopping for a new trailer, ask the dealer if they can weigh your boat. They may have a scale and will need to know kind of trailer would support your boat. "...tires seemed toed out a lot, and the axle is bowed down instead of almost level..." -Doesn't sound good.

the official weight for the 1900v is 2600 pounds, but like Scott said There might well be a ton of water in the foam
