Tongue Weight on a Parker 1801

[Silversides]

Happy New Year to all!

Does anyone know the tongue weight on a Parker 1801?
I want to purchase a trailer dolly and need the weight to purchase the proper size.

Thanks,

No 2 are going to be the same, all depends on the trailer and how it's set up, for a dolly figure 250#

I have a tandem axle trailer for my 1801. I have never checked the tongue weight, but I expect that it is under 10% of the boat/trailer weight. Maybe 250 lbs? Number of axles, total weight and positioning of the boat, tow angle (is the trailer level?) and other factors would all enter into tongue weight, but 10% of total boat/trailer weight would probably get you close?

Steve and Mike,
Thanks...I have an 18 and the dolly is rated for 600lbs so I should be fine.

Thanks,
Nick
