My Seafari and my old Seabird weigh very close to the same, hull only about 3000 lb. The Seafari can't be more than a few hundred lbs more than the Seabird, even fully loaded. I put the Seafari on my old aluminum Owens float-on trailer, 7000lb capacity, and it tows perfect, you hardly know its back there. No noticeable difference in the tires or how the two boats towed. I figure boat, trailer, fuel, ice, gear, etc is very close to 7000 lb. Fully loaded for a long trip might be a little bit more. Note: a steel trailer weighs a lot more and leaves less for the boat.
