Can anyone give me a ballpark towing weight of a 40' flat deck? Do you think it's over 13000. :cry:

Figure the boat is some 8500-10K depending upon power, fuel level and junk in it.
Trailer should be some 5-7K lbs also.
13K on the trailer. Not possible.

So you are saying more like 15 to 17!!!! :yuk:

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that is a bare hull, with empty tanks, no drives, no trannies, no power, no rigging. But that would just be the limb I'm furiously jumping up and down on.

The boat and trailer are probably close to 13,000. I'd guess the boat weighs apx 10,000 plus apx 3,000 for the trailer.
400 gallons of fuel is another 3,000 apx.

Thanks guys.

I probably should have!! I'm flying to Scot Conrad's SC Performance next Tuesday to check out the flat deck he has there. Pops brought it up and Scot is making us a great deal if we go ahead. I love the Spectre so I'm not sure. If you had a Corvette with a chance to get a Ferrari would you????

Towing weight is 15000-17000k.I highly recomend a diesal dually with disc brakes on trailer.Gary
