28TD weight and tow rig?

Has anyone actually weighed a 28TD with twins on the trailer. Looking at purchasing a different truck and trying to figure out how much truck I need?

Not sure on weight of your specific boat, but assuming it is twin BBC...
...I would not want anything smaller than a 3/4 ton pickup; definitely not a half-ton; regardless of what the marketing material states a half-ton can tow.

28 TD is close to the weight of my old 30 ICC. Gonna need a 3/4 ton. Some of the newer 1/2 tons will tow it just fine. Panic stopping is different story.

And how much did your 30' weigh?
