How big is the boat....?

I'm having trouble figuing that out. I have all the original paperwork
for the boat/trailer combo (2003). As best as I can figure the combo
weights something around 2700 lbs dry. The capacity of the VUE with a
class II hitch is 3500lbs (I believe all class II's are limited to
3,500lbs). I have a class III installed but the manufactor doesn't
list a tow capacity for class III so I'm just working on the same
3,500 lbs. The main benefit of the class III is that its easier to
find accessories for it (although class II's seem to be becoming more
common with SUVs).
