First, welcome aboard!

I have basically the same setup, only its an 1985. If you look up in the Brochure and specifications section of this forum you'll see that the hull basically weighs 3000 pounds. Add 1200 pounds for the outdrive and engine, up to 100lbs for gas (mine has a 140 gal. tank) and another 3 to 500 pounds for miscellaneous equipment and you can see that's pretty close to 5000 pounds anyways. add normal fishing gear, cooler, water toys, ice, Et cetera, Et cetera, and etc. and the total is looking like 5500 pounds. At an 800 to 1200 pounds for trailer and now you have a gross vehicle weight of about 7000+ pounds. I realize that this is slightly over an estimated, but accounting for wear and tear and maybe a little weakening of trailer parts, 7000 pounds is a safe estimate for the total gross vehicle weight capability of a trailer. Just my opinion!

I hope this helps, at least as a starting point. Good luck and again welcome aboard.
