As the size got up near 24 to 25 feet, the trailer weight jumped up to 1,400 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight is going to depend on the materials used (steel vs aluminum) and the number of axles, but I feel that 1,000 lbs is a solid benchmark to keep in mind when shopping around. &nbsp;It may be a little more, or a little less, but 1,000 lbs is a happy medium.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cuddyandcruiserguide.com\/staging\/9027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200606_201320-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"boat trailer weigh\" class=\"wp-image-293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cuddyandcruiserguide.com\/staging\/9027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200606_201320-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cuddyandcruiserguide.com\/staging\/9027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200606_201320-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cuddyandcruiserguide.com\/staging\/9027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/20200606_201320.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The other thing I found is that the advertised trailer weights by the manufacturer <i>are not<\/i>&nbsp;accurate in many cases and tend to be advertised on the lighter side. &nbsp;Many people who weighed their trailers found that the actual weight was 100 to 200 lbs more than advertised.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if the manufacturer includes only the frame of the trailer when weighing and excludes the tires, but it is a probably a good idea to keep that in mind if you\u2019re really cutting it close with your method of towing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Towing Capacity Should I Have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, I would recommend having a towing capacity that is at least 20% greater than the total estimated weight of your cuddy, gear, accessories, liquids (gas and water), and trailer. &nbsp;Leaving that buffer allows for assurance that you won\u2019t have any problems, and it greatly reduces the stress that you put on your vehicle\u2019s engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more <a href=\"https:\/\/cuddyandcruiserguide.com\/staging\/9027\/towing-cuddy-cabin-boat-with-vehicle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comprehensive article on towing a cuddy cabin, you can check out my article here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being said, it&#8217;s also best to carefully calculate your total weights and add another 20% onto that estimate due to inevitable errors.&nbsp; Many of these major errors are&nbsp;a result of discrepancies between what a manufacturer says a boat or trailer weighs and the actual weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not uncommon to find that your boat weighs 10-20% more than the advertised amount, and for a trailer to weigh 100-200 lbs more than advertised.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we consider a Cuddy on the high end with a dry weight of about 4,000 lbs, add on about 1,000 lbs of gear, food, ice, and accessories, 500 lbs of liquids (gas and water), and the trailer (1,400 lbs), we\u2019re left with a total of 6,900 lbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nAdd 20% for error and our new total is 8,280 lbs.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we add another 20% buffer for our vehicle&#8217;s max tow rating,&nbsp;<strong>we need one that can at least tow just shy of 10,000 lbs.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;If you want to bump that max tow rating up to 12,000 lbs (or more) to be safe and to put less wear on your engine, you\u2019ll definitely be in a more comfortable territory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>THE 20% RULE:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>AN ACCURATE TOTAL WEIGHT ASSESSMENT IS CRITICAL FOR SAFETY ON THE ROAD AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUR TRUCK, TRAILER <g class=\"gr_ gr_13 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep gr-progress\" id=\"13\" data-gr-id=\"13\">AND<\/g><\/em>&nbsp;<em>BOAT.&nbsp;
