Approx weight for a 221 Elite?

[champion221elite]

I'm researching the possibility of getting a somewhat smaller tow vehicle and I'm wondering how much my 221 weighs sitting on the trailer, ready to go.

Champion lists the hull weight at 1,650 lbs which sounds a bit light, but it's I've been told.

The Mercury 225 EFI weighs 485 lbs plus a 52 gallon fuel tank, 3 gallons of oil, 4 batteries, all my tackle/rods and trolling motor.

The trailer is a C-channel frame EZ Loader with tandem axles.

I'm guessing the total weight is somewhere around 4,000 pounds, but I'm wondering if anyone else has a better idea regarding the total weight.

Buy you a duramax and be done with it...

Do you have a truck scale in your area? ( quarry,trash incinerator,land fill)
Pull in weight it drop it weigh to vehicle walla now you have both weights.

Randy...I'm done with Government Motors. My Tahoe is really starting to sour me.

Scotty... there is a quarry nearby, and I'll try to get permission to use their scale. Hopefully they're willing to cooperate.
