Yes. I weighed my 2002 with a stock 496HO, 2 years ago with a full tank, and known shipping weight of my LoadRite Aluminum I-beam tandem axle trailer at the local truck stop. Rough estimate minus the weight of the trailer; fuel and 150 lbs of batteries (dual) came out to be 5050 lbs semi-dry (oil/lubes)....

It's been awhile, but i wanna say my trailer's shipping weight as stated on the bill of sale was around 1450 lbs. You figure each battery weighs a good 75 lbs if not a tad more. The weight of gasoline is approximately 6.25 lbs per gallon.....So:
Empty boat: 5050 lbs
Trailer weight: 1450 lbs
Battery x 2: 150 lbs
110 gallons fuel (6.25 x 110): 687.5 lbs
Total weight (mine) topped off on a trailer = 7337.5 lbs
