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.
The weight you list is the dry weight, now add the motors, fuel, gear, ice, and anything else added to the hull and that will put you at a gross weight over 5000lbs probably. I would guess (cause I don't know what is on your boat) Between 5000-6000lbs would be safe numbers go off of. I would look for a trailer with twin 3500 lbs axels for a 7000lbs minimum. Twin 6 lug 5000 lbs axels would be better tho.
