Call dan at pirate marine in berlin township ohio
the best prices on new trailer.

Dry weight is 8400 lbs,,,, you'll be near 10k fuel of fuel and gear

Buy a trailer rated for 12k+lbs & you'll have a good margin of all the extra crap that accumulates in a boat. That stuff adds up fast.

ABOS shows dry weight of 7300lb with bbc.

My 322 was with the Trailer 9100 Lbs

Boat Details


Fuel Gas/Petrol Hull Material Fiberglass
Beam 8' 4" Max Draft 3' 4"
Dry Weight 8,400 Horsepower (total) 330
Fuel Tank 186 Length at Waterline 32' 0"
Holding Tank 5 Water Tank 20
Engine Hours 330 Max Bridge Clearance NA
Cruising Speed 55 Maximum Speed 67


186 gallons fuel = 1116lbs

20 gallons of water = 116lbs

1232 total
8400 boat

9,632

Plus gear

I agree with Jason,,,, I would get a trailer with (3) 4k axles

Excess is barely enough. 16" wheels & 10 ply tires are a necessity! Nobody likes to be on the side of the road changing tires & there isn't a trailer mfg out there that believes in overkill when it comes to tire sizes & ratings.
I'd do 4 or 5k lb axles too with brakes on all 3 axles and get 2 spares.
Assuming you trailer or are going to trailer regularly. It is a lesson I learned the hard way. More is more gooder!

thanks for the responses

+ 1 on the 16" wheels,,,, if your having it built go with the torsion axles and electric over hyd brakes as well.

3 axle brakes drum,,,, 2 axle if you go disk

My 33 Outlaw that the book shows as 7500lb. dry, (not including trailer/fuel) weighs a total of 11,900lb sitting on a tri-axle Eagle, with about 75gal. of fuel in the tank.
I have 3 6K lb. axles.
You can't have too much trailer IMO.

Never weighed my 36,,,, Doc Holiday said he was 12,600 on trailer so I used that for my weight as well.

As for cant have to much trailer,,,, not completly correct,,,, to heavy of springs for the boat weight and the trailer springs wont compress giving the boat a rougher ride.

Depends on who is driving the tow vehicle. :lolhit:

i think my 1 ton is only rated for 12750 so this is as much of a boat i can haul....

My 322 has a dry of 8100 w/502 mags, ac and the whole kitchen sink so to speek. It happens to be on a 12K tandem, but i would recommend a tri axle so you can fully load the tank and carry several cases of corona with no issues. I pull it with a 2500 HD Duramax, easy towin'. Need help with getting a trailer look me up.
