My boat weighs.......
I took my boat down to a scale yesterday and weighed my boat. It's a 29 Fever with a single 500 EFI and ~100 gallons of gas and a tri-axle trailer. With my boat and all the gear (anchor, lifejackets, trailer, etc..) it weighs 8580 lbs. I don't know how much help this will be for anybody, but if you were curious to what the 29 weighed, there it is.

5500 lb for the boat
~2000 lb for the trailer
600 lb for the fuel
~ 8300 lb total, it adds up quick! "Yeah, I'm sure your Ford SportTrac could pull it"

I had the dragging down the ramp problem with my 29' and a 87 daully.. I blame it on the bridgestone tires I have now they just get no traction. Now I lower the air pressure down to about 25 psi and have no problem. I only tow about 4 mile to the ramp so any farther than that I fill them back up.

I could not believe what mine weighed, did the same thing last summer. 312 fastech on my trailer weighed 11,400 lbs. I have an F-250 4x4 and find when I back down a slick ramp, I leave it in drive and let the boat pull me down and just step on the gas a little then all four tires can grab to help slow the momentum.
