I have not seen any trailer manufacturers include the weight of their trailers on any brochures. how much does an aluminum i-beam tamdem axle boat trailer weigh built for a 22 ft. boat?. To calculate needed trailer capacity, calculate the total weight including the boat, the engine, a full fuel tank (approximately 7 lbs. per gallon), full water tanks (if applicable) and your personal gear. a good rule of thumb is to use 10% of boat, motor, and liquid weights for personal gear.. Well, a steel trailer for a 17' boat will clock in at 500 lbs. an aluminum would probably come in around 300 lbs. the hull will definately be over 1000 lbs, and possibly up to … 2000lbs..
For years mackay has been building aluminium boat trailers in melbourne for a variety of different boats from jet skis, up to 4.5t power cat applications. with strong engineering expertise mackay has been able to design aluminium trailers to suit a variety of boat requirements (as per pics below).. Trailer models. transtyle trailers aluminium boat trailers don’t rust and are lighter than similar steel or galvanised constructions. this gives them a higher payload and reduced weight, which facilitates the use of lighter and more economical towing vehicles.. Aluminum trailers weigh on average 10 – 15% less than steel trailers. this means that you’ll be able to haul more with an aluminum trailer versus a steel one. (your haul weight is your trailer weight minus your axle load bearing capacity.).
