Have you weighed that on the trailer without the tow vehicle on a certified scale? Your comment caught my attention, 5K is a lot for a 22Ft boat of any type, my last boat a 26 FT Aquasport Center console with a 250 on the back went 6K dry on a scale, I looked at NADA and just for comparison purposes, in the bennington line up, I had to go to a 31 ft with 300 HP to get a weight of 5K. 22 footers are all around 2500lbs no motorcaptain28570 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 7:36 pmMy 22 foot Tritoon weighed 5000 pounds on the trailer.
I would bet that the 23 foot will be close to 5500 pounds.

Agreed, my 220 tri toon Harris is 28-2900 per the catalog. 5000 would be a tank of a tritoonFLOUNDERPOUNDER225 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 09, 2018 7:19 amHave you weighed that on the trailer without the tow vehicle on a certified scale?

I am the guy at the boat ramp that gives you dirty looks when you are a complete idiot and too stupid to know it.

5k is probably right on if he is talking total package. 23’ Tritoon, V6 4 stroke, full tank of gas + coolers, 800-1000# trailer will be right around 5000#. My home build 20’ tritoon, 140 Suzuki, loaded for the lake and sitting on the trailer was 3700# on a certified scale. I weighed the package to make sure was good on tire/axle weight (built trailer with a pair of 2000# axels and 1050# rated tires)

Yes on the trailer it weighed 5000 pounds on a Cat scale. Not connected to the truck.
Boat is 2600, motor 530, Batteries 110, full fuel 43 gallons, galvanized trailers are heavy for these things. safety stuff and gear.
Just boat, motor, batts, trailer is easily 4500 pounds. So you can see how quickly the weight adds up.
MY brand new Sea Hunt BX 24 bayboat dry weight 2700 pounds with a 300 Yamaha brand new with 20 gallons of fuel weighed over 5000 pounds on the scales.
Boats weigh more than we think .
Again total weight was 5000 pounds. Trailer included.
