Same setup with boat full of fuel and most of the gear:
That was after the boat was all cleaned up and ready to be covered before our next trip so the coolers are dry and there are no boards or lead in the boat either. Full disclosure it was riding a little nose down when I scaled it. I have since flipped my hitch and raised it up to help level the trailer. I actually bought a new hitch as well, I love my B&W but a 2” ball with a 7500# rating is not going to cut it any more.

I need to reweigh my set up properly. I just dropped the boat on the scale and got its weight. I like the way you did yours, you can easily determine trailer weight, tongue, and tow vehicle weight per axle. Crazy how adding the boat removed about 500lb from the front axle.
