I understand less, the older I get. I would like to know the weight of my 1974 oday 22. The displacement is 2083lbs or so - What does it weigh? What is the weight of the boat and trailer total? I think that the total is under 3000 lbs but not sure.

O'Day Weight

Your O'Day 22 should weigh around 2050 pounds dry. Add weight for the motor, sails, gear, water tank filled and gas tank(s). A typical trailer for the 22 footer would wiegh from 900# for an old steel frame clunker like I have to perhaps 750# for the newer aluminum trailers. If your question is in connection (no pun intended) with towing, I recommend a V8 or large 6 cylinder pickup truck or SUV to tow the boat and trailer. These vehicles have the beefier springs and powerful motors with the torque to deal with the tongue weight and trailer load. My friend hauls my 22 and it's heavy trailer plus motor and gear the one mile from it's winter home to the bay launching ramp across flat streets in his little 4 cylinder pickup. We don't break any speed records, and hills would make it a impossibility. Figure on a a total boat, gear, and trailer weight of around 3500 pounds.
