What’s the dry weight of a 1994 Hunter 23.5 and the standard single axel galvanized trailer, I need this for vehicle tailoring limits.

Thanks

Empty boat is supposed to be about 2,000#
empty Trailer is close too 1,000#
trailer is rated at 3500#
add motor, beer and everything else I'd bet close to 4,000#

Another factor to consider is the frontal area of the boat, ther is alot more drag from a boat than a travel trailer. If you plan on a lot of highway towing and the vehicle you are looking is border line you would likely want to move up to the next model.

I tow mine with an F-150 no problems. I have also towed it with a Gran-Marquis and did fine with that as well.

Thanks, we have towed ours with a Dodge Ram 1500 heavy/sport and we had no issues but our truck was totaled at Christmas in a head on and we are considering other replacement options like a Dodge Nitro that is good for 5000#.

Thanks again.

Why guess? Most people grossly underestimate the weight of their towing load. For $10 you can get the exact weight - run it across a truck scale. You and your insurance company will sleep better...
