calvin did u put ur trailer jack down or just leave it hooked up and made sure ur truck was off the scale? only way I can see the 2k discrepancy...

WOW!

I better get this checked out!

Actually when I talked with the owner yesterday he said it was still pinned on the ball but the truck was off the scale!!
It is a heavy trailer!

Alright I have to break down and ask... So with all this chat on weights and towing, am I to understand that towing this 300 Revenge with our Lincoln Navigator I may or most likely will be illegal legally because I will be slightly over the reported limit of the vehicle? Am I making sence here? Because to be honest I have never heard of this as long as you have all your trailer requirments met, and I do to my understanding. Luckily we dont tow much, just maybe a trip or to to LOTO.

The 290 goes down the road perfect behind a half ton... never been pulled over for weight check, were not semi drivers the state cops have better things to do... not to mention 75% of them can't tell the difference between a 30 ft boat and a 25 ft

That is kind of what I thought... It may not be right but that they had better things to do than look for "pleasure" people towing more that they should. The vehicle can do it, so from that stand point I am not worried.

Ok how heavy is that trailer! Verbi I would rather build another house than finalize a boat deal, the bank is the easy part, alot of leg work

Now come on everybody knows that you dont count the trailer because it is closer to the ground and that it is hauling the boat not itself. What are ya ignorant or something...

I am suprised someone from MIT hasn't made a trailer out of toothpics just to prove it can be done and then haul that 38 with it... would be a site to see.

And another odd thing, yesterday I went to where we strore our boat just to check it out again and see how it felt to sit at the wheel... really need better weather and some beer now, I am ready!
