Ran truck and trailer over the scales today

2008 GMC DRW crew cab diesel 4x4 with aluminum trailer and 35 Fountain EX. Coming back from Buffalo so did have like 300 lbs of extra boat and trailer parts.Truck was loaded with fuel, boat has about 60 gallons.

yep

Wow that really was a 20,000 lb set up!

Have you run the truck over empty? Do you know what the truck axles weigh without the boat?

So much for the thought that Fountains are fast because they are light..

????
It`s a 11K boat with trailer, my 33Outlaw was 12K with steel trailer.

Yea but the 35 fountain is only 30 feet long.:whistle:

ok so you had a heavy trailer,,whats your point?

Im surprised a 2005 35 Fountain weighs that much. Just guessing but prob around 1k lb tongue weight? 12k lbs with only 60 gallons of fuel in it, on a trailer which looks to be aluminum? Thats not a light boat imo. Well, for what you would think a modern 35 Fountain at least. Prob close to 10k lbs fully fueled on the water.

Tim's welded aluminum Manning trailer probably rivals the weight of a steel trailer. It's built really stout.

Next time, drop the tongue stand on the scale, with the truck off the scale and get the weight differential. That's a better figure to know.
