Default Weight of SC 20 all up???

Does anyone know an accurate weight of a early 70's SC 20 with single axel steel trailer and a 4 cyl outboard (like from a truck scale)? I am looking at a new tow vehicle, and want to get something as small as possible for my local towing.

Otherwise, educated guesses are okay too! I figured about 2600 dry...

Thanks!
Peter

Hey Fr. Frank,

I like you're saying regarding "Common Sense."

It's kinda like the one I heard.
