I took the rig to a local truck scale. My current trailer has 3500 pound axle with 4 layer leaf springs that are probably rated around 3Keach.
3/4 tank of gas, all my typical trolling trip tackle, full 35 qt Engle cooler, crank battery series 31, electronics battery series 29, 3x Trojan 1275 golf cart batteries-- just as I brought it off the lake yesterday. Bilge dry.Livewells empty.
Total rig unhooked from my truck---3820 lbs
Rig hooked to the truck but just the boat trailer axle on scales---3160 lbs. That equates to 660 lbs tongue weight.
I see a new tandem trailer from the same place my current one came from if the owner would get off the lake and get me a price. I might have a nice single axle 20' trailer for sale.
Might consider buy/trade on a dual axle bass boat trailer fixer-upper.
