Bw 160 dauntless 2002 weight / trailer type

[greenhorn whaler]

Im buying a 2002 dauntless and would like to know the weight with motor 90 merc. Fuel batteries ect. The boat doesn't have a trailer , but my buddy has a real nice 2700 17-19 ft. Load rite roller trailer i could have . Would it be wise to use a roller trailer on bw boat . Does any one have a 160 dauntless they have used one on please help.

The net weight of that boat with a 90Hp is right at 1500 pounds. Sounds to me like the trailer your friend has would accommodate it well. As for whether to use it with rollers? I'm not sure. It may just be a matter of comparing the specs of the hull with the build of the trailer. So long as it supports the boat, I'd say the rollers are likely fine.

thanks for the info , but it is a little confusing I've been reading on some forums that it's like you say 1500 with motor and others say it's 1500 with out the motor . i just want a sufficient size trailer. may be i will get the trailer and if rollers are not workable I'll try converting to bunks.
