I was wondering if anybody could help me out? I am trying to find out the tongue weight of the standard tandem axle trailer that comes with the new Supra Launch SSV, when the boat is in tow. I just want to make sure that the trailer and boat does not exceed to maximum tongue weight on my SUV when I pick up my new Supra Launch SSV. I am also trying to avoid purchasing a weight distributing hitch. So, if you happen to know the tongue wieght of the trailer, please let me know.

Thanks,
apmcnutt

tongue weight of the trailer should be no more than 10% of the total load, closer to 5-7%. 4-5k lbs is a nice round number for a loaded wakeboard boat on a tandem axle trailer so that would put your tongue weight in the 400 lb range, give or take a little.
