DTH

Has anyone actually weighed a 29 on the trailer? Looking at new suv for my wife to drive and want to get something that will pull the boat safely. I towed it to loto with my 2000 Expedition one trip down this summer and I decided to only pull it with my 3/4 t chevy after that.

DTH, I haven't weighed the boat on the trailer, however I would guess that the boat, gas, and tri-axle trailer is approximately 10,000 lbs. I pull my rig with an Expedition, but feel more comfortable with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

What is weight of boat only with fuel? I thought I saw it listed as 6900 lbs dry?? I also thought I saw it listed as 6000 lbs dry.

The book says 6800 with twin big blocks. 5575 with one bbc.

Be careful with trusting what the book says. Most of the book weights are based on the standard base engine package, no fuel, or options. I also remember that when the heavier 496 block (w/closed cooling) replaced the lighter 454's and 502's the book weights were never updated for that. I think it would be be worth the 5 bucks to have the whole rig weighed.

Mine weighs about 10.5k on the trailer, full of gear & mostly full of fuel. I have a steel 3 axle Heritage trailer.
I can also tell you that a 6000lb Hydrohoist lift won't lift the boat, but it beats tying it up.

Mine was over 10k on trailer also.

My 33 Outlaw on an Eagle tri-axle steel trailer with ~75 gallons =11,900. The boat is supposed to weigh 7500 empty according to the book.
