I just bought a 1981 Sey Ray 245 Sedan Bridge 25' Long, 8' Wide, with a 350
V8 Engine. It sits on a EZ-Loader trailer dual axle, Now I need something
to
pull it with as I plan to go to different lakes and rivers with it. (A
friend
towed it to my house). Can anyone help me with the size truck I need to
pull
it. I have no idea what the boat with trailer weighs, And NO I can't
afford
my friends truck!!! PLEASE no math or how to figure it out just the
Approx.
weight of the boat or vehicle towing power required, 5000 lb, 7500 lb,
Etc.

Hope someone can help.
Thank you in advance

Also look for a Grain elevator nearby. Sometimes they'll weigh it for
you for 5 bucks.
Truck Stop = out on the highway (sometimes) = trailer not quite right
(lights, plate) = State Bears = bad news Roscoe!!!!!

Scrap metal dealers almost always have a drive on scale, and will
weigh you for a reasonable price.

You must go to a really low class scrap metal dealer.
