Boat weight

I wonder if anyone could give me a guesstimate on what my boat/motor/trailer weighs. I think the hull is right at 1000 pounds but don't have any solid idea what the motor and trailer weigh. It's a 17'5" Tracker with a 90 hp Mercury. I'll take it to the feed store and weigh it someday but am just curious in the meantime.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.

I have a 2007 Alumacraft Navigator 165 Sport that has a hull weight of 1,050 lbs, with a 90 hp Mercury Optimax. With motors, gear, fuel, trailer, etc., I am right at 2,500 lbs.

Thanks, that's just what I was guessing but I was hoping for less. I have a small SUV that has a 1500 pound towing limit and I'm trying to figure out if I could use it to manipulate the boat around the yard and driveway, not really tow with it. My wife would kill me if I broke the springs or something [crazy] but a loong wheelbase pickup makes it hard to maneuver. It's funny, but she doesn't want it kept on the lawn all winter.

weight would be heavy enough to break the springs on your suv. I just wouldn't take it out on the highway and go 80 mph with it.
