I am trying to figure out the approx weight of my SR/WK including boat, trailer, motor (9.9 HP 4 stroke), and "stuff" without unrigging it and dragging it to a weigh station. I'm sure others have weighed their boats in full trailering setup. If you could share the results, I'm sure mine will be similar. Ok if its a swing, I can adjust for the difference in keel weight. My truck has a 7,000 tow capacity. I'm pretty sure I'll be under that, but not by much. Thanks.

Let's see, boat 4,200, trailer 1,000, outboard 110, two batteries 120 only puts you at 5,430 lbs . . . that's a pretty big cushion.

I tipped in at around 6100 or 6200 ready to tow a few years ago with a swinger, so you would need a lot of stuff to be close.

Did you remove most of the items in the boat or was it pretty much loaded as normal? I have a '89 SR/WK and I'm about to haul it for the first time.

The boat was not heavily loaded. No water tanks filled, OB not attached, no beverages loaded yet. Trailer weight empty = 2000lbs, based on truck scale. I believe a boat weight of 5000lbs is pretty
consistant w/ other 89's.

Wow, your trailer must be built like a tank! I belive my trailer is just a little over 1000 lbs.

My boat weighs in at 6823 pounds with trailer and fully equiped boat. Water full, 9.9 Honda and the kitchen sink. Just checked it out at the local truck scale on the way to launching this spring.

My trailer is just shy of 1500 lbs. Haven't had the boat on it yet to weigh it.
