I like the Ford SD trucks the most although I drive a Dodge 1/2 ton now.
Dodges are the heavier of trucks as well.(in the diesels)
Calvin , your 38 full of fuel sitting on a steel triple axle trailer only weighs in at 12,400 lbs??
Thats pretty light for a 38' package?!?

what did you end up buying. I must have missed the post but i see the new pic in your avatar.

Wow Verbi 525s in a 280 that boat will be faster than Uncle Kevins!!!:grinser010:

hey verbi.........that must be one fast 28 with twin 525's???????.......That extra engine added a lot of weight i see, because you must be around 13,000 LBS since you are asking about that weight????????

Thanks for all the help and info.

So if I was to make an educated guess at the weight of the boat and trailer, full tank of fuel and loaded with gear for the weekend it would be in the neighbourhood of 13000 lbs??
Sound right?

And the way I figure it if I need more boat I will cut it and add 14 feet to the mid section of the 280 so I can end up with a real 38' !!:eek:
Should end up right around your weight I figure!!:grinser010:

Now is that a 38 or a 34/38 or a 38/34 or should we just go with an average of 36??? LOL Sorry I thought it would be funny considering the past posts.

Because I was always told you measure a boat from the front of the trailer to the very end.











Now I hope you know I am kidding.

Congrats Verbi, that is one very sharp Powerquest! I think that is the feature boat for the 380 in the 2004/2005 brochure.:drink:
