Certified scale 12800# R27 boat and trailer with generator, cruise RO Watermaker, Wabasto, AC, spare prop, engine spares. Towed from Palm Beach FL to Prince Rupert, BC, CA. Float on trailer with electric over hydraulic and H tires. Fenders cracked and replaced with quarter inch alumni in Calgary. Towed with GMC 2500HD Duramax 2015, single back wheel 4x4. About 20,000 pounds for the rig, at the max but so far all is well. Three axle would be better. Trailer dealer said slow down and take it easy axles right at swl rating.

We have weighed ours on a certified scale and the truck as I remember weighs just about 8500 lbs. and the boat on a tandem axle Float On trailer is right close to 10,000 lbs. We have a generator but we don't travel with much of anything in the water tank and no more than a half a tank of fuel. And yes the waste tank is also empty. 😎 We carry our dink and motor in the truck along with spare water with any weighty items towards the front.
We took 3/8 aluminum rod and had it welded inside of the outside edges of both of the fenders from front to back following the curved radius areas. I also used pieces of conveyor belting under both ends of the fender strut that runs from the frame to the middle of the underside of the fender. We also installed the optional Float On fender braces. We too use a 2009 2500 HD Chevy with the Duramax diesel. Single rear tire 4 wheel drive 8' bed. When I get home I'll put a picture of the actual weight slip in our album. Electric over hydraulic brakes are a must in my opinion.
