Just curious if any of you with a 21 SS Extreme or similar 201 pro know what the boat weighs on the trailer? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eyes.gif We just bought another motorhome and the towing capacity is 5000 lbs.

Boat weights about 1600 lbs dry weight. Need to add 450+ for motor. Add for batteries,troller,etc and probably getting close to 2500+. Probably a good guess. Can not imagine that you will have any problem.
Including trailer and gear you'll be pushing between 3,000 and 3,500. Dry weight on the motor is around 450, but then you have to add all of the rigging, including oil tanks, steering, etc. Batteries, trolling motor, gear, tandem axle trailer, etc. gets you up to a lot more weight than you might think. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
Cool. I should be fine with a towing capacity of 5000 lbs on the new motorhome. They are always pretty conservative on that number anyway. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
4 batteries 270lb
Jackplate 40 lbs
Charger 10 lbs
Oil 20 lbs
fuel full 300 +-
Trolling motor 40
Thats 700lbs without tackle and anything in the compartments. your under 5000lbs for sure but I bet your near 3800lbs
My little 18' 150HP weighed 2860 empty on a certified scale. Then I added jackplate ,charger, went from 3 -24f batteries to 2 -31 series and 1-27 then add 250lbs for fuel and some tackle she weighed 3320 ready to go fishing full of gas/oil.
I've got a weight slip somewhere but it also includes the weight of my Dodge 2500 Cummins I'll find it if you'd like.

If you get a chance, I'd like to see it. No biggie if not. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
Hey Jason.. sorry just saw your post... my weight slip was 10760 but that includes my 2001 quad cab Dodge diesel (nothing in it.. just a plain fiberglass cap on it). I'll try to get a weight on just the boat itself in the next month or so if I can get over there with it.
