Call dan at pirate marine in berlin township ohio
the best prices on new trailer.

Dry weight is 8400 lbs,,,, you'll be near 10k fuel of fuel and gear

Buy a trailer rated for 12k+lbs & you'll have a good margin of all the extra crap that accumulates in a boat. That stuff adds up fast.

ABOS shows dry weight of 7300lb with bbc.

My 322 was with the Trailer 9100 Lbs

Boat Details


Fuel Gas/Petrol Hull Material Fiberglass
Beam 8' 4" Max Draft 3' 4"
Dry Weight 8,400 Horsepower (total) 330
Fuel Tank 186 Length at Waterline 32' 0"
Holding Tank 5 Water Tank 20
Engine Hours 330 Max Bridge Clearance NA
Cruising Speed 55 Maximum Speed 67


186 gallons fuel = 1116lbs

20 gallons of water = 116lbs

1232 total
8400 boat

9,632

Plus gear

I agree with Jason,,,, I would get a trailer with (3) 4k axles

Excess is barely enough. 16" wheels & 10 ply tires are a necessity! Nobody likes to be on the side of the road changing tires & there isn't a trailer mfg out there that believes in overkill when it comes to tire sizes & ratings.
I'd do 4 or 5k lb axles too with brakes on all 3 axles and get 2 spares.
Assuming you trailer or are going to trailer regularly. It is a lesson I learned the hard way. More is more gooder!

thanks for the responses

+ 1 on the 16" wheels,,,, if your having it built go with the torsion axles and electric over hyd brakes as well.

3 axle brakes drum,,,, 2 axle if you go disk
