Weigh station? Getting a trailer weight?

[FishingFool]

I gotta new hull and before I slap an outboard on it I wanna know how much it weighs with the trailer. Does anyone know where I can pull up and get it weighed?

Thanks.

Might try the local dump, they charge by weight but should be able to help you out.

Most truck stops have scales.

Yep, any real live truck stop.

You could also call moving companies like United Van Lines-these folks have scales as well.

I did the same thing years back with a boat and trailer. Remember though-the buttons on the weigh station are about 8 feet off of the ground positioned so that a truck driver can pull up, reach out and call the attendant. When I did it I couldn't reach the buttons from standing on the ground or standing in the door sill of the car and had to use a boat paddle just to reach.

Make sure you bring a long enough button pushing device...Just sayin'

You may be able to get the weight info from the manufacturer's web site. Or the dealer whom reps/sells your particular brand....good Luck!

All of the above or at a dirt/shell yard. They weigh all their trucks.

Pull a Part or your local variety pull your own has scales, and I bet if you're super nice they'd let you back up on one

The scales at Pilot are $10. Pull up to the scale, press the button and the will ask first time or re-weigh. Easy as pie. Will break weight down by each axle.
