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. If it is a simple bowrider, I would say a good estimate WITHOUT a motor would be between 1500 and 1800 lbs.
The total weight doesn't really bother me much, its still 1,200 lbs less than what my manual states as the max trailer weight, and I doubt I will ever be able to fill the trailer up to its max payload. The one thing I'm worried about is the pin weight on my rear axle. The axle is rated for 6048 lbs. 20% of the 5th wheel weight is 2,800 lbs, which is what I'm told to use when calculating this weight. I've read on several websites that the rear axle weighs about 3,500 lbs when empty.
