Just saw this thread...
The empty weight per Owens and Son (handwritten on the invoice) was 1198 lbs and is rated at 10500 lbs. The trailer was built for my boat at it's loaded weight so the boat with fuel and gear "should" come out to around 93-9500 lbs plus the weight of the trailer to reach the max GVWR. Mine is a TRS boat... so subtract about 300 lbs for a Bravo boat. It's actually a little lighter than I thought. I always thought they were a bit heavier.

I used to tow our 311 with a F-250 diesel that I daily drove and it did fine. For the last 5 years we have towed it with a Ram 3500 diesel dually that is a tow only rig (not daily driven). My wife says she doesn't feel comfortable in anything but the dually when loading unloading. We also found that dually trucks were a little cheaper in our area. I would not want to daily drive one though.
