This looks like a good starting asking price if anyone is interested. Only has 25 hours with twin 6.2 320s. Pretty big boat to trailer though! Pics show 4axle. What size truck would pull that?

They have the beam listed wrong... it is actually 10'5". That boat weighs 14,000 lbs... really need a dully or fifth-wheel 2500HD... My HD is only rated at 12,000 with the bumper pull. So I'm wondering how to pull mine. :huh:

Not gonna get it done with a 2500 period. F350, F450, 3500 perhaps but I think a fifth-wheel is a must. 14K plus 1500 for gear and fluids, plus 3000 for the trailer you're looking at 18,000 lbs easy............. Wow:wow:
 
Here is the only safe way to move these big boats, pulling, or better yet stopping a 18K plus load with a pickup truck?

Thanks Jim - I have towed our older searay weekender a few times which is 33' overall and 11'6'' beam solid glass with big blocks, with all the same options and tankage on a triple axle trailer rated for 12,600 lbs. Typically the older boats with solid glass instead of cored materials weigh more. Someday I should weigh mine to see if the old specs (10,000 lbs) are rite.Which by the way tows fine with a 3/4 ton truck and class 5 hitch setup. The newer boat at 14,000 lbs + 1750 lbs fluids + 1000 lbs of gear + 3000 lbs trailer adds up to about 19,750 lbs. This boat is 1' narrower in beam and small blocks weighs 4,000 lbs more just seems odd.
