[QUOTE="Zum, post: 268790, member: 349"] Heres another way: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to weigh a boat..... 1. First put the scale under the tongue with the boat pulled all the way up on the trailer. For this example, we will use a scale reading of 220lbs so W1=220 2. Scoot the boat back on the trailer EXACTLY 12" so 12=X 3. Re-weigh the tongue. For this example, it was 100lbs so W2=100 4. Measure the distance in inches from the axle to the tip of the tongue. In this example, it was 180". so 180=C 5. Plug all 4 of your numbers into the equation. C(W1-W2)/X In this example, it will look like this... 180(220-100)/12 6. Do the equation a. first you subtract 100 from 220 which = 120 b. then you multiply 120 by 180 which= 21600 c. finally you divide 21600 by 12 which = 1800 So this boat weighs 1800lbs. [/QUOTE]
