With all of your suggestions I realized I should find out how much of a weight penalty there is for going with a 10k. Here are a few, realizing that these numbers may only be accurate within a hundred pounds (or maybe worse):
Rice 10k, 18':2875-2970 pounds
PJ 10k, 18': 2470 pounds
Curahee 10k, 18': 2200-2350 pounds
Triple crown 10k: 1975 pounds
Suretrack 7k, 18': 2200 pounds
Hurst 7k, 18': 2000 pounds
The Hudson that newbury talks about is 1950 empty, though my local dealer said they currently have a one year lead time, so I'd have to find one that is already made or in the pipeline.
My assumption going into shopping was that a 10k trailer was going to be heavier empty than a 7k, and that was wrong.
I am also noticing how many manufacturers and dealers don't list the empty weight. Isn't that a pretty basic thing that a buyer would want to know?
