I'VE GOT A 1965 SEAGOING HOUSE BOAT AND AM BUILDING A TRALER JUST TO
TAKE IT OUT OF THE WATER TO REPLACE THE BOOTS ON THE OUTDRIVE. I WILL NOT BE GOING ON THE ROAD WITH IT JUST TAKING IT 1/8 MILE TO MY HOUSE
FOR MAINTENCE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE APP WEIGHT AND CENTER POINT. I KNOW THESE THINGS ARE OLD BUT SO AM I AND THAT OLD WOMAN
WHO HANGS AROUND HERE ALL THE TIME. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT HELPING ME WITH THIS AAAAH , BOAT.
The plate in engine room states"Net 26 tons". With the 502 mpi Crusaders I've gotten 34 mph on the GPS. That's with a clean coal tarred bottom. I can't seem to figure how to post a picture here. Check my profile on the other houseboating forum. That would be Houseboating World. Or look in picture gallery.
my old 1869 with single 318 was about 17000 lb. I built a three
axel trailer for it. work well boat is still on it . I sold it 18
years ago.. the boat was 36 ft. hope this helps James
