weight of boat

 Hi,

I know this is random question but!  I have a fiberglass Gaurdin Cabin Cruiser (just under 16ft) and at the moment i tow it with a Holden Calias V8, looking a getting a Ford Territory Titanium Petrol not deisel. Does anyone roughly know the weight of a fiberglass boat that size?

 

Also would the Ford with RWD drive be able to tow the boat, not interested in opinions of HOLDEN VS FORD blah blah blah

 you wouldnt have a prob towing with that at all. as far as the weight of the boat, go along to a weigh bridge and get a true weight. that way when you go away you know how much you can load it up without haviing a prob

towing with Territory

should be no problem as the Territory is rated to tow 2.3 T. ( assuming the trailer has brakes, or 750 kg will be the limit, which your fibreglass boat will be wlll over) And I would think your average concrete ramp will give enough traction to pull that up the ramp, and on the road she'll be fine!
