NOTE*** When loading equipment on a vessel to be towed, ensure that the maximum load capacity of the trailer AND towing vehicle are not exceeded. Only max load capacities for trailers and vessels are defined below. The max load capacity of your vehicle will vary with make/model. Refer to the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) in your vehicles owners manual.

Calculations for vessel gross tonnage utilize USCG simplified GT calculations
