What's the weight rating on those axles? 3,000 lbs ea or 6k Total? If so, and the trailer weighs around 700 lbs, so that would allow for a boat up to 5,300 lbs. Does that sound right?

If a 23' SeaCraft weighs 2,800 lbs [dry weight w/o engine(s)]

add 650 lbs for a big single 4 stroke + 700 lbs for a fuel load of fuel (100 gallons) add 500 lbs for gear, etc. add an additional 150 lbs for batteries and that 23' SeaCraft should weigh out at a max of around 4,800 lbs, well within the max of 5,300 lbs....no problem.

If a 23' has twin 2 strokes it still should work. But, a 23' equipted with twin 4 strokes -- probably border line...

P.S. those bunks would definately need to be raised for a 23' and probably for a 20' too.

P.S.S. Ken are you sure they are ST 205 x 13" and not the more common ST205/75R14"??
