Weight of Epic 22 w/Trailer?

[Lakeside]

Our tow vehicle was in an accident and it may be time to replace it.  Does anyone know the weight of an E22 and trailer?

I've wondered the same thing, but I've been guessing about 5,000 lbs.  I might be closer to 4,500 lbs depending on how dry weights are figured for Epic 22s and X22s.  I'm sure somebody on the forum knows (but I don't).  For what it's worth, here's my guess...

1999 Toyota Epic 22

Epic 22 & X22 Dry Weight..............................................2,800 lbs
Boatmate 2X Axle Trailer (2 spare tires & 1 hub)............1,230 lbs
Gear (skis, boards, boom, vests, parts, tools, anchor, etc)...500 lbs
Fuel Weight (27 gallons @ 6.1 lbs/gall)...............................165 lbs
Oil & Coolant Weight ...........................................................5 lbs
Total                                                                            4,700 lbs

I suspect the Epic 22 and X22 may have different Dry Weights where the X22 adds items like: a tower, speakers, mounts, inflatable ballast bags, plumbing, pumps, etc. that could be a couple hundred pounds.  I assume the dry weight included probably represents the heavier X22 for a more conservative #.  As an aside, this trailer has a G.V.W.R. of 6,000 lbs.
Most boats come with trailers made by Ameritrail.  My Trailer Title's Shipping Weight is 1,150 lbs, but a spare, hub & mount were added later (guess 80 lbs).
I also guess: -200 lbs for single axle
                   -100 lbs for no spare tires & hub

Hope this helps!

I contacted the trailer mfr years ago regarding my S22 with tandem trailer and told him of the Sequoia's 6500 lb rating. His response was that the boats were heavier than spec'd and I was using most of the truck's capacity. Always wanted to go weigh the thing...10 years later probably still won't take her down just to satisfy the curiosity.
