Why "dry weight" lies

A 2,700 lb center console is really a 5,000+ lb trailer once you add a 250 HP outboard (about 590 lb), 50+ gallons of gas (300+ lb), gear and a tandem-axle trailer. TowCheck uses the heaviest engine the boat is rated for and a full tank, so if we say PASS you've got real margin.
