13100

I put my 382 on a scale with a steel trailer and scared the hell out of me, 14700. I pull it fine with an F-250 though.

Dave I did the same thing.... scary when you think about all that weight behind a SRW truck. I towed mine back from the Formula factory w/F250 diesel (800 mls) without any problems.

Take a guess. I'll send the closest person a prize package not to exceed $5 value. How about a used Formula beverage cooler?

2000 353, 496's, 1/2 tank gas, anchors, tools, cooler, steel tri-axle trailer.

Too much if you ever want to go very fast!:evilb:

Guys, sorry to leave you hanging......weather here in Michigan has been poor every weekend for last month. First cold 2 wkends, then warmer, but quite windy.

I did weigh the Excursion alone, 7240# w/ 1/2 tank. Deducting for myself & toolbox.

We'll see what this weekend brings...........................

Wow - finally a great boating weekend. Hooked up last night & took to scale 1st thing this morning.

RESULTS ARE IN! :flag:

Excursion, 1/2 tank, myself, toolbox, 353, trailer, 1/2 tank, tools, pfds, towels, snacks, no coolers (yet) = 19,500#

Ex & myself = 7,440#

Boat & trailer = 12,060

Then I rolled forward so truck tires were all off the scale but boat was on = 11,220.
So I think that means my TW (tounge weight) is 840# or 7% of boat/trailer. I believe this is on the light side of TW rec's, but has pulled great over many miles.

Still to do;

I'll leave the boat slipped and weigh just the trailer soon.
Fill up truck and boat to calculate exact gallons now & weight. Gas weighs how much per gal?

Lastly do the math to see who's guess was closest!

About 6.2 lbs per gallon. Temperature, type and blend will effect the actual weight +/-5%.
