2015 Parker 2310DV trailer weight rating

[dstdcfire]

New trailer, 10k on weight, pulled it from Florida to Va with no issues. Feels like I could have a little more tongue weight but had no swerving at all, just a little bobbing when going over undulations in the road. Wasn’t expecting mount for winch to be galvanized but it was when I picked it up. Trailer. Was 7350 and boat was 64k, motor and boat have 10 hours/2015 year model 250 Yamaha. Feel like I got a good deal, few thing wrong with vessel. Wash down pump for sea water is not working, horn doesn’t work and the fuel gauge blinks one bar with a full tank of fuel. Thanks for all the input on trailer. Out board didn’t come with title as they don’t need them in Florida, I’m not sure if I need one here in Va but will find out next week. Again thank all who had input!!

For that long haul did you have anything supporting that outboard?

Nice boat! Great job on the tow. Enjoy.

I'm interested in knowing what you would do to support the engine because I plan on doing a lot of traveling with mine. TY q

Nice boat, good luck with it, catch some fish and enjoy the water....

I was told the fold down bracket was for trailering by member I bought boat from which I now know is wrong. Book says to tow in down position if there is enough clearance between skeg and road. Transom savers also work but no one had any available in Florida. Maybe they all sold out prior to the hurricane to people moving boats. I hope I didn’t do any damage to mine towing it in the wrong position. Apparently the fold down bracket is for service.

TY, I'll look into finding one.

A nice looking boat.
I got the same 2310 DV WA this year, as well. The '14 model.

The Parker 2310 DVWA is 3,700, plus Yamaha 300 is ~700. – say 4,500#, total, plus full tank ~700? 5,400 #
Trailer ~ 1,400 #. Not sure the boat weight includes the hardtop and frame -- probably not.

I only trailer short, flat distances, so the GVWR doesn't bother me. But when I picked up the boat in the Spring -- p.u., sea trial and home port was ~400 miles -- not a problem.

Hope that helps,

Quick question -- I see you've got the windlass --- how do you like and it what model is it?

I'm thinking a winter project.

Best,

What motor are you running? Do you have a bracket on boat, what holes on outboard is your motor mounted on boat? What prop are you running and lastly are you happy with the setup?

Tamaha 300, prop is Saltwater Series II, - pitch is 17T 15 1/2

Boat came with an Armstrong bracket.
I suspect that changes the balance a bit -- I carry ~150# as ballast in the bow to correct. Seems to porpoise a bit if I don't

Not sure on the bolts to bracket. I can check
Don't have any stern pics but this one...

Mine does the same, was thinking about raising the motor for and adding a 4 blade prop. I’ve read that raises stern pushing bow down.

Did you check to see what hole your motor is mounted. I think the added platform puts motor further in water when on plane, if motor was mounted to boat then it would require a higher mount point. Thoughts?
