Deat weight towing?

so whats the most dead weight you think a boat and trailor can handle without doing damage?

(just curious I have a 05 V215)

I personally wouldn't carry more than 1000 pounds. Normally the trailer has a max capacity plate on it. My trailer is 3880 pounds and the boat weighs 2900 pounds so 1000 pounds of extra weight is about max, especially when you consider gas & stereo etc etc. I doubt you would cause damage by carrying more but your insurance would be void if you had an accident and they were onto to it enough to weigh everything.

my trailer says 5000
