I just weighed my Whaler 27 today and the trailer it was on to get the trailer registered here in TX.

The boat weighed 9460 lbs when I weighed it. I had about 125 gallons of fuel, about 20 gallons of fresh water, waste tank was M/T, the 2 300 HP Yamahas and aprox 250 lbs of miscellaneous tackle on the boat. The trailer I am using is the one I bought with the boat that is actually an incorrect trailer for the boat. It is a Karavan with keel roller support but it has roller banks instead of bunks forside support. I am registering it so I can trade it in on a new custom made trailer here at Magnum Trailers later. The trailer I have weighed 3100 lbs.

I would recommend a triple axle trailer with a minimum capacity of 12000 lbs, but that might be too light. I am specing 3 - 6000 lb axles, or 18000 lb capacity, with electric brakes on my custom later after weighing my boat today. I think my current trailer is a 12000 lb capacity, it works, but it sure does creak a lot!

Now, talk about an awesome boat! I just spent the last 2 days breaking in the new Yamahas here on the TX coast...man oh man! We are very lucky to have these boats!
