    Default Hull weight of 23 albacore special

    Where can I find the hull weight for the 23 Albacore.

    I'm trailer shopping.

    Brochure states that it's 4200lbs "dry". I read this as basic boat with not top, electronics, safety equipment, or turd locker.
    Fuel 600 lbs
    Ice/food/beer 20lbs
    Ice Fish 120lbs
    Gear 60lbs
    Fish... lets say you catch 10 Yellowfin, 10 Yellows, etc... 150-200lbs

    5200lbs.

    Whatever trailer you are going to buy is going to weigh 1300-1500lbs

    That put you at 6500-6700lbs as a conservative estimate. I'd take Mike's advice and go with a 10,000lb. trailer with torsion axles. Seems like overkill but running at 65-75% seems like a safe way to go. Check the rating on your truck hitch too. I just figured that my 06 F250 PSD was rated to tow 24k lbs that it would have the correct factory hitch. It's only rated for 7000lbs!

    Thank you very much. I have a very HD hitch on my GMC 2500 HD. I have had no troubles towing the 28 ft Skipjack.

    Thanks for the specs. Could you send me copy of the brochure?

    Please and thanks
