Not sure if correct, but the sticker on my Eagle shows a GVWT of 10500#, and a load carryng cap of 8750#.
I'd assume the 1750# difference would be the trailer weight.

My 33 AT is on a dual axle aluminum Manning with tool box as yours and weighs #2260. With another axle (albeit smaller) and I'm guessing that Eagle is a steel trailer I'ld think #2700.

Probably boat, trailer, fuel, gear in boat, i'd imagine your gonna be pulling 11-12k behind you. My old Formula 402 Was about 16,500 on a steel trailer, 1/8th tanks of fuel.
My old single engine 24FT Four winns Liberator was about 7400lbs on a steel trailer.
Stop at a truck stop and use their cat scale. Its pretty cool to find out what your rig really weighs. You can weigh the truck and trailer, then go drop the trailer, and weigh just the truck. Then subtract.

You should be under 11k, close to 10 500 with 1/2 tank fuel. For sure hit a scale at a truck stop. You can actually pull onthe scales, put the truck on the front pad, tongue jack on 2nd, trailer tires on rear.
So stop and tell the scale clerk you want to quickly jack the trailer off the ball then weigh all. If not busy they won't care. So now you get truck, tongue, and trailer axle weights. A weight will cost you $20 though but worth it.
I've hit 3 scales with similar loads and have 3 very different results though too. A 700 lb total variation.
