Can I use this to move my Bass Boat? It weighs 1300 lbs and my trialer is about 700 lbs

Your boat and trailer are supported by the wheels and axle of the trailer. When you attach the trailer to your car (or truck) to pull it you lift the tongue of the trailer. How much weight is that? 50 or 60 pounds ? So, if this is true, the dolly will easily hold the ball-end of the trailer. Now, are you on smooth level hard ground or pavement? The question is, are you personally able to push or pull the dolly and trailer and boat. The dolly will not break, but are you strong enough to roll the boat and trailer? You must decide this yourself by lifting the tongue of the trailer and trying to push it without the dolly. OK?

I have twin 150's and a 26' boat. I think it would be a stretch unless you have two. Please call Teleflex/Sea Star, the techs are very knowledgeable.

It says 400 lbs. weight capacity, but I only weigh 130. The front of the boat actually sways back and forth when I row, so I think more weight on it, or the front of the boat might help that out.

I would dbl ck w/ the manufacturer, but you should be able to use this rack. I only hauled Paddle boards.

I guess for smaller bass. I would think anything over 3 poundsay break the rod

I doubt it would work for that weight. It moves very slow and mine seems to have a little "skip" when it turns. I think the added weight would either not work or make the motor louder.

I use this on a 27' boat but it also depends on how big your anchor is. It has a 450lb capacity but I would probably not use this on a boat your size.

I was using these with my 65 pound kayak but it is a much narrower boat and couldn't mate up with the hull very well, so it might work good for yours. They flex a lot but seem to handle the weight fine.

I think they only have an 840 pound limit. If your boat and trailer exceed that, it would be unsafe.

I don't think the top receiver can handle the weight. It works fine to pull a trailer and a bike rack on top.

I don't see why not with 850 pound but not 550. I would likely double it up to be on the safe side. I always go with more than I think I might need just to be on the safe side.

I believe the cuddy is too heavy. My boat weighs about 2200 lbs (boat, motor, fuel) and doesn't slide off real easy. It goes on great. I even used two sets.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

I use mine on a boat trailer but my boat weighs about 1000lbs. You should be ok since each tire would be loaded with 750lbs. plus trailer weight. Check the posted load rating on tire to be sure.

Should be able to move it without too much difficulty. It depends how much water or sand you put in the base.

I am 5' 4" and have a SUP that weighs 22 lbs. I am able to balance the SUP on my head, tilt one end higher and rest it on the rack while I walk backwards to get the rest of the board on the rack. I don't know if I would be able to do that with a board that weighs twice as much but you may be stronger and taller than I am. I prefer to load our two boards when the two of us can help with the process. It is possible alone.
