Default Re: SF18 weighs in at 3,000 lbs full of fuel,rigged

'72 Seafari 20'. Hull 1800 lbs; motor 90 Opti 375 lbs; fuel (main tank only) lbs; 3 anchors, chains and rodes, 75 lbs, 150 qt cooler (full) 60 lbs; rods, reels, tackle 40 lbs; miscellaneous "stuff", 50 lbs; Old 18-20T (3500 lbs rated) TragicTrail tandem trailer 885 lbs = 3,460 lbs.

I "upgraded" the original tires on the trailer from four 4.80'x12' "C" tires rated for 930 lbs each, to 175-13" "C" tires rated for 1335 lbs each, as the only difference from the suspension on the 18-20T and the 19-22T MagicTrail suspension carriages was the tires.
