Dry weight is supposed to be 2500 lbs with a small block and alpha. I put it on the scales last year at my buddy's scrap yard. Boat, motor trailer came in just under 4000 lbs with a half tank of gas and 5 qts of oil in the motor plus all the water in the engine cooling system. Haven't weighed the trailer by itself but it's a tandem axle Oklahoma made from tube steel. I'd guess it is somewhere around 1300-1500 lbs.
