How much does an average 18 ft jet boat with a big block weigh?

1200-1800 lbs.   :thumbup:

The difference would be hull lay up... :-\

Thanks, getting some trailer tires and do not want to get any that will not handle the load.

Your tires should be rated for the weight capacity of the axle, not really necessarily the weight of the boat, you have to take into account the fuel and the weight of the trailer... ;)

Probably shoot for 3000# GVW.   :thumbup:
