LostAnotherOne Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Just bought a new truck and only has a max towing of 1500lbs. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if I am going to have any problems towing a boat, trailer, and say a 9.9 on the back. Thanks
ccmtcanada Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Is it just a tinny or are there heavy wooden floors added? Unless the floors are made of lead, I'm sure you'll be fine. A tinny with a 9.9 and trailer would be around 1000 pounds Max is think. If floors maybe add a hundred pounds. I think you're fine.
LostAnotherOne Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 Will add wooden floors eventually plus a trolling motor, but for right now just the basics.
AKRISONER Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I can nearly single handedly pick up my 14 with a 15 on it. I can actually pick up the entire front by myself without issue. and am able to lift the back when i lift really really hard...it probably weighs 300lbs max. The trailer I cant imagine weighing an insane amount either. Youll be totally fine.
ccmtcanada Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I pulled a 14ft aluminum boat, 18hp motor and trailer with a Honda CRV. It pulled it just fine. I'm sure your truck can handle it with no issues at all.
LostAnotherOne Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 Haha. That's exactly what I bought a few days ago.
Raf Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 my 14.5 w/tm, full floors/casting deck, 40 4-stroke, plus trailer is likely under 1k all in. you will be ok.
John Bacon Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 How much weight will be in the truck? The towing capacity for all weight being towed plus the cargo and passengers inside the truck. The boat, motor, & trailer will should be well under 1,500 pounds. But, if you have four large guys and their luggage in addition to the boat you will likely be over the limit.
lookinforwalleye Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Not to worry 4 large guys and all their luggage,beer,tackle,etc,etc won`t fit in a CRV anyways.....
porkpie Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 I have a 16 foot boat, full floor, casting deck, livewell and lockers with a 50hp as well as 3 batteries. It weighs just a shade under 1500lbs with trailer. I had it weighed at the dump scales. I prefer to pull it with my truck, but often will tow and launch it with a 4 cylinder SUV if I'm travelling a fair distance and want to save gas. You'll be fine with a tinner!
DOS Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 What truck do you have that only hAS a 1500lb towing capacity? Or is it your hitch? Bumper hitches are 250lb tonge weight 1500 towing. Any way you put it, you will be well under 1000lbs, dont worry. I know a guy that hauls a 14' sea nymph with a 20, fully loaded with an Accord...

DOS Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 I thought he said he bought a new truck. A CRV is a car, LOL
lookinforwalleye Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 Yep 2 bags of groceries and a bottle of Pino..... :clapping:
wormdunker Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 I have a 14' Lund with 20 hp yammy 4 stroke, MinnKota electric trolling motor, 2 batteries & other miscellaneous gear such as paddles, anchor, mooring lines (small stuff). I just did a quick breakdown of my total weight being towed. Boat with full floor 350 lbs (boat is 285 lbs - bare bones) Yammy 140 lbs MinnKota 40 lbs 2 batteries 120 lbs Trailer 250 lbs?? (only an educated guess) Total 900lbs Small stuff add 50 lbs I'm sure you will be OK.
Mister G Posted August 1, 2015 Report Posted August 1, 2015 I never heard of a truck that has a 1500 lb towing capacity......Is it for midgets because I think a Mini Cooper could tow a 14 tinny around.
LostAnotherOne Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks guys for the advice. Very much appreciated.
joeybacala Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 If you want a rough idea what it weighs, go to Legend boat sit and try matching up to theirs. It will be in ball park.
