Bill According to the paperwork that came with the trailer we purchased from Pacific, our trailer for our 23 weighs in around 1200lbs. With the stock boat weight at 3600 (when it was new and empty) that gives us 4800lbs total. We figured that after 26 years of modifications, soaking up (a little?) water, gear, and equipment that we probably needed to add another 1000lbs to that number to play it safe. I know it sounds like a lot but heck, just a full 6 gallon fuel can is 50 lbs or better, 4 stroke motor at 110 lbs, 20 gallon full water tank at 175 lbs,ground tackle, etc. It adds up fast! One of these days I'll have to get her on a scale. It would be interesting to see what she will weigh ready to head to the ramp geared up for a week on the water. Maybe more like Scary!!! Sean
