A few more 08 Challenger questions

[usctrojan]

Sorry for all the questions. Soon I will be here answering them. :hurray:

What would you say the weight is of the 180 and trailer? I think the manual says the boat is about 2k with fluids? It has the Karavan Trailer. My girlfriends ML350 says it can pull 5000 but the hitch we are putting on it says 3500 for some reason. Just want to make sure it is under the 3500 mark. I am guessing it is.

I have this obsession (or so my girlfriend calls it) with the wind deflector on the 05's rather than the full windscreen on the 08. I grew up driving my fathers jet boat from the time I was 10 (I am 39 now). It didn't have a windscreen and I always feel like I cant see everything looking through them. Will the wind deflector off the 05 fit in place of the windscreen on the 09 or do they have an aftermarket one?

Taking it out for the first time this weekend. Pretty excited. Going salt water though since it is closest to us.

Thank you

Weight

I'm not sure about your Trailer but Mine weighs in at 250.
I also believe Your hitch is a class two = 3500 LBS.
Does it have a 1.5 inch receiver?

make sure you flush it out after playing in the salt.

They said it was a class III. Maybe because it is bolt on it doesnt have the same towing capacity. The one on my car came welded on from the factory and it has a 6500 lb towing capicity.

Thanks. I bought the quick connect with the boat...
