Hello,
We are getting a Qx30 that is 10' wide. I calculate the total capacity needed to be ~9000 lbs., as below:
~5400# - boat dry weight
~2000# - twin Yamaha 425's
~1100# - 166 gallon tank, full (166 * 6.3 lbs/gallon)
~400# - random other stuff that might be on board...anchor, full cooler, cover, gear.
Sum of above: ~9000 lbs.
There are options but the weight capacity is always a little short (i.e Yacht Club, PB3080TR with extension for 10-wide, http://hltlimitedtrailers.com/deluxe-series/ is rated for #8000). Is the last 1000 lbs something to worry about?
Are there alternative trailer brands would anyone suggest for this situation?
Thank you,
