O'day 25 or 26 trailering weight

[John Stevens]

Has anyone weighed their 25 o 26 on a truck scale without supplies?

I know the displacement is 4800, wondering how close that trailering weight is.

TIA,

John

my twin axle trailer weight in at 1408# and the inboard at @110#...add you engine weight+trailer+boat+fuel+STUFF to get total. check tires for proper weight then upgrade 1 level if you can. If you are looking for a tow truck consider if the trailer has brakes--yes--or--no. If NO then go to a 3/4 ton since they have bigger brakes.

Off topic, but: Hi kdssail. Not forgetting you, I just have had a challenging week and am working through the weekend except for being off part of Saturday. I will try to write this week. Be glad to have u visit!

Dont mean to hijack the thread, but how trailerable are these boats? (From a standpoint of trailering to and from on every sail).. Ive had a hard time finding a photo of one on a trailer which normally speaks volumes...

Here is the boat we purchased. I do tow it with a 1997 3/4 ton Power Stroke diesel F250. This is a picture from the person we bought it from so thats not my truck. I live at 2200 ft above sea level in the Santa Cruz Mountains ~ 10 miles to the ocean with many curves in the road and some grades of 14 % coming up the mountain. It can be done, but trailer maintenance and up keep is a priority.
