23 Center Console Dry Weight
Can someone direct me to a previous post on the Hull weight of a 1976 Seacraft 23 Center Console. I have searched the forum but havn't located any info on the weight of the 23. I am looking to have an alluminum trailer built and the only data that I have found on the hull weight is 2,850 lbs. The trailer manufcturer suspects that figure to be innaccurate. He indicated that the newer Seacraft boats were heavier than that but he has no experience with the older boats. Doesn't make sense that a newer Seacraft would be heavier. Any info regarding this is appreciated. Trailer will be made out of 6.5 " alluminum beams. Are 3500 lbs axels sufficient? Really don't want the added maint of brakes. Evidently in TX. if the gross weight exceed 4,500 brakes are required. I will be pulling the boat with a one ton truck. Thanks in advance.
