[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 354152, member: 11019"] jethro; all, The 16 foot deep/wide V-bottom aluminum boat weighs 272 pounds. The 18HP, 1958 Johnson OB motor weighs 83 pounds. The 6 volt "golf-cart" battery (for starting the OB) weighs about 90 pounds. The 10-gallon fuel tank (to be "built-into" the bow) weighs 8 pounds plus 80 pounds of 2-cycle fuel. The two anchors weigh 10 pounds each plus the anchor chain/lines. That adds up to: 553 pounds & doesn't include the fishing rods/tackle or "incidentals" like cold drinks/igloo cooler & ice/live bait. Thus the weight of the trailer is IMPORTANT to stay well under 1,000 pounds gross weight. (Btw, yesterday afternoon, I went & "looked at" the lightest "conventional" 16 foot trailer that I've found locally. - Took it to the local public scales & it weighs 396 pounds.) yours, satx [/QUOTE]
