How much does your boat + trailer weigh? If you could, specify the type of boat, how many axle trailer, and any other factors that add to the weight. I’m trying to get a feel for the weight of a rig so that I make sure I don’t put too much behind my SUV this spring. Thanks guys. Oh can I just say [:p] on ice fishing (no offense to anyone), I can’t wait for open water! I hit the Provo River up the canyon Christmas eve but pulled in a big skunk, though I did see a bald eagle on a tree right above me, it was pretty cool. Anyways, I just wanted to say that it felt pretty good to wet my line, but I do hate getting skunked. I don’t believe that a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, at least there you’re making money. I guess I’m not very sentimental. ---

My 16ft fiberglass boat and one axle tgrailer weighed in at 2300 lbs .I had it weighed in at the flying J scale and that is being un hitched from my durango. Hope this helps. ---

Maybe it would be best to say what kind of SUV you have and what it’s rated to tow. I’ve only owned 2 boats, a 19.5’ cuddy (4500 lbs w/trailer) and a 21’ ski boat (4000 lbs w/ trailer). Of course my Duramax pulls that kind of weight no problem but my buddy also pulls the ski boat with his grand cherokee and it does fine. Most vehicles with a tow package will pull up to 5000, just make dang sure you get a trailer with brakes if you go much over half the rated towing capacity. ---
