I had my boat and trailer weighed at a truck stop on Friday. Total combined weight is *2900 lb.* I wonder how that compares to other M17 rigs that have actually been weighed (not guesstimated?) I believe the trailer is the original Trail-Rite, not Pacific. Weight factors: I had my Evinrude 4hp motor on a mount at the front of the trailer and 3 gals of fuel in the cockpit tank. A 7' homemade trailer extension with a 2' sleeve accounts for about 75 lb of extra weight. Other heavyish items are a 55 lb Rolls battery, 15 lb Delta anchor w/35' of 1/4" chain on 200' rode, and a mast raising 2 x 4 gin pole with attached brake winch. Also a pair of experimental trailer "goal posts" made from 1" steel conduit and PVC pipe that are way too long and need to be cut down by several feet. How heavy is your rig? Henry Rodriguez
