Im pulling my boat out of the water for good. I am looking for specs on my boat. Mostly the overall weight. Am I bound to a 2 or 3 axel trailer? Single engine 454 merc, 280 penta outdrive, swim step in boat.
Regards, Tom

boathelp@usmboats.com is the email for Bayliner Customer Service. ;)

The Contessa model.......This inboard/outboard cruiser has a fiberglass hull, is 27.42 feet long and 120 inches wide at the widest point. The boat weighs approximately 5200 pounds with an empty fuel tank and without any gear or passengers.

A dual axle trailer rated for 5500 should be okay ....reted for 6000 would be better :)

Make sure you have a good tow vehicle and the trailer brakes are in good working order.

I've found a 2 axel 10,000 lb heavy duty trailer. You guys are great. Thank you so much for the input.
Best Regards, Tom

in addition, if you call the bayliner number they will send you a copy of the original owners manual in the mail for free. not sure about the email, maybe that way too. You just need the HIN handy.
