Default A question about boat weight and displacement


Ante Topic Mimara ] wrote in message

I plan on buying a modest mini-cruising sailboat which I'll probably use as
a camper on occasion.
My theory is to buy the minimal needed.
This would keep the weight down and enable me to use my current tow vehicle.
My total boat/trailer weight will be about 1800 lbs.
One important consideration I have to make is buying a new galvanized
trailer with surge type disc brakes. This will add to the expense but if it
prevents one bang up...I'm ahead.
