Highlander weight (empty) - 4780 Highlander hitched - 4900 Trailer axle weight - 2740 Tongue Weight - 120 Hull Weight - 1481 if you subtract gas, engine,trailer,ect. Published Hull Weight is 1250 so I am 231 pounds over give or take. I don't have a full tank of gas in the boat so weight of gas is a guess, I did have a full tank of gas in the highlander when I weighed with the boat, but not empty. I will weight the boat again, this time with a full tank of gas in the boat, especially since I still need to install the stern seat and the console. I also need to adjust the tongue weight since at only 120 pounds she would sway badly over 50 MPH. Edited by Tom W Clark on 05/15/07 - 5:25 AM

You really need to fill the fuel tank to get a good estimate of what the gasoline weighs, otherwise you don't really know how much is in there. Also, how did you estimate the weights of everything else to arrive at your 1481 pound figure? Edited by Tom W Clark on 05/15/07 - 5:25 AM

I will fill the boat tank next time, but right now it's not hooked up to the engine so I didn't want fuel spilling out of the hose that is hanging in my splashwell. Other than that the boat is stripped, no console, no seats, no junk in the forward locker.
