1997 35ss
Can anyone tell me the approximate weight of a 35ss on a aluminum trailer and on a steel trailer?

my 31 is around 10000 with an alluminum trailer so you're probably around 13-14 with steel

If you go to NADA.com that usually gives you the weight of the boat dry. I figured a rough estimate from there and I would be really close to what I can tow. Was trying to get a good estimate from the members here to see how close I really am. If that helps.

NADA Says my boat weighs 8400lbs with 425hp engines......I am gonna say my 575sci's are about the same......?

I figure my boat is 10k with fuel and gear. add an aluminum trailer @ 1500+ and you have 11.5 - 12k.
I rarely tow my boat. It is kept on a lift at the marina that is 20 minutes from my house. I have a 2500 6.0ltr chevy and is struggles a bit to get going and on hills, but once going its fine. I did borrow a friends ford 250 diesel for a long haul, and it was night and day difference. With the diesel you dont feel the truck struggle as much to get going, or going up a hill. with that said, a 3/4 ton is fine in the suspension dept, but a diesel is really needed if you plan on towing alot. |

Had a 2001 358 with 500efi's with most options on a Myco triple axle steel-it was approx. 11,000. We have a 2005 386 with larger than stock :-) engines with transmissions......on a Myco triple axle steel. I'm going to guess about 12,500 as ours is right now becaus of the lighter lay up of our hull vs. the 2001 we had. I was told by Myco if I remeber correctly that our current steel trailer with drive guard is about 2,500 lbs. I pulled our 358 with a 1996 GMC K3500 SRW with a 454. It worked ok but i one on ramp I had the trailer push the truck alittle. I got a GMC K3500 DRW with the Duramax/Allison in 2002 and it has been great. Multiple trips from NJ to Florida and back no problems. Hope this helps.
