Weight of a 30' pontoon

[wijames]

Would anyone have any idea what a 30' tracker party hut would weigh? I'm looking for a trailer for moving a short distance and storage but dont have any idea how heavy the boat is.

My '06 Party Cruiser was 5500 lbs. dry. Party huts are just a little bit lighter, not by much though. The older 90's era Party Cruisers and huts weighed about 6000 lbs, due to more plywood.

According to NADA, 3420 plus weight of outboard.

Mine was an I/O. Considerably heavier.

Your chances of finding a used pontoon trailer capable of properly handling one of the big Trackers is about nil. You should be looking for such a boat that has a trailer with it. And everyone needs to take their boats out of the water from time to time for maintenance.

I used to lend mine to our marina to take out larger 'toons. To this day they don't charge me a ramp fee. I put money in their honor box, and it's back on my windshield after we get back.

Great idea but I already have the boat! Gotta find a trailer.

Mine is a 93 but I've replaced all the wooden seats with new. I'll be.t I removed 500 lbs of old wood, and I didn't put seats in the back. I do know the boat sits 4 inches higher in the water since I renovated it.
