Boron has also been used in some rockets as an ignition source. Boron-10, one of the naturally occurring isotopes of boron, is a good absorber of neutrons and is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors, as a radiation shield and as a neutron detector. Boron filaments are used in the aerospace industry because of their high-strength and lightweight.
The trailer is the big variable here, but the my 20' pontoon boat weighs about 1600 pounds with all the furniture on. The trailer will probably weigh about 1600-1800 if it's made of steel, so about 3200 lbs is probably about right.

This figure is known as a truckâs gross vehicle weight rating. Say a truck has a GVWR of 9,000 pounds and weighs 5,000 pounds. The 4,000-pound difference is the amount of cargo, passengers, and trailer tongue weight the truck is capable of carrying. Itâs this cargo capacity that the whole â-tonâ classification got started with.
