25 Seafari...55mph

[77SceptreOB]

I agree w/ BH. The 25 Seafari should weigh around 5,500# (with I/O power) on the trailer fully loaded. Add 1200# for a trailer and your at 6700#. I would think a tandum axle trailer that had 3500# axles would work fine. If like extra security, get a tandum w/ 5000# axles or a triple axle trailer w/ 3x3500#. That would certainly do the trick.

My Sceptre, has a dry hull weight of 2800#, only 200# lighter than the 25 Seafari. I have a hard top & tower that weigh 300#. With a 225 O/B I weigh out at 4500#. Add 1100# for a trailer and I'm pulling 5,600# total. I tow with a Chevy Tahoe and a 7000# rated tandum trailer w/ brakes and feel VERY comfortable towing long distances....no problem.

On the other hand, I would NOT feel to comfortable pulling mine or your boat with a Land Rover LR3. To small and not enough GVWR ...IMHO. The general rule is: "The tow vehicle should outweigh the boat and trailer being towed"
