    Tongue Weight!

    Does anyone know the tongue weight of a 2006 Stratos 201 ProXL with an Evinrude 225HO and fishing gear?

    Re: Tongue Weight! (Bugs)

    This is right out of the UFP owners manual:
    TONGUE WEIGHT
    It is very important your trailer have 5% to 10%
    tongue weight when it is loaded and the tongue is
    level. For example, a trailer weighing 4,000 pounds
    MUST have a tongue weight of at least 200 pounds. This will help reduce trailer from
    swaying from side to side (“fishtailing”). A bathroom scale can be used to find the
    tongue weight of the trailer.
