I am looking for total weight so I can get a trailer... Thanks for the response yolo I would just like to get confirmation... If my hull is aprox 2600# plus a 2002 yami 200hp ox66 plus fule I get roughly 3700 to 3900# total is this correct? If so is 4000# trailer okay. Just want a second opion before I spend 4K on a trailer. Any additional info would be excellent

Yes, 2,600# + motor + fuel + beer. 4,000# Double Axle should be fine in my opinion. What's the next size up? FYI: 205/75D14 tires are not radials. The D would be an R for radials. Ref: rnr-marine.com/SEAPRO.shtml#220cc-specs

205= width in mm, D= Diagonal belts, R= Radial, B= Bias belt, 14=rim diameter in inches Trailer tires should start with ST (Special Trailer): ST-205/75D14 for example Car/Truck tires also have a Load Range (after all the other numbers), which can also be a D, but not the D above. D=8 ply (most cars/trucks), E=10 ply (off road and heavy hauler trucks) Radials are not recommended for trailers due to wandering. Higher pressure ST, D or B belts are for trailers.

My options are 4000# trailer aluminum structure $3500, 4500# hot dip galvinized $3300 or 5200# aluminum $3900. All very close just want to ensure I get the right one.

If in salt water, then alum is the way to go, and go heavier if you can afford it , plus dual axle with Torsion springs.
I like the boas-ply fro trailer tires - tougher side-wall (I have a tight turn on my cul-de-sac) and roll easier 60+psi), but to each his own.

Thanks everyone I think I'm going with the 5200# aluminum. Better to be safe for the diffrence in price.
