If the boat is anywhere near the way I sold it to him, this is a deal.

Maybe it is just me but I wouldn't want to be barrelling down the interstate with that trailer under that weight load.
For some reason it looks way to small to me. Might just be the angle, but it doesnt look up to the task of that weight.

How heavy is that boat, ie what would it take to tow, more than a 3/4 ton?
Thanks

You'll be pushing 14-15k by the time you are loaded up. I think they were 9600 dry - add 1500 in fuel, 500 in "other stuff", 1500 for the trailer, other small stuff that adds up quick (swim platform, hydraulic steering, tie bar,), coolers of beer and cheap hooch.....It's a lot of weight for my F350 dually, I can't imagine it behind much less - that doesn't even broach the ever present insurance/liability piece of it.
I am sure some people will tell you you'll be fine, but from my experience - I wouldn't consider it.

You'd be crazy to tow that thing with a 3/4 ton in my opinion.

Sold about 3 years ago. No issues with it at that time. Due diligence with motors, leakdown, compression tests would be recommended. Unless he sunk boat or wrecked it, there is not issues with glass - still shined with no stress cracks. I towed with Dodge 2500 diesel with NO problems. Towed to Florida many times. Trailer is a south florida and it is plenty of trailer for boat but don't know what type of shape it is in now. As I said when that boat got me home from the Bahamas in 8 to 10's (yes they were), it is a dam good boat.
