Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi Dave,
Might be a bit high on that... I have the navigator 165 as well, and I have a 2400 lb trailer under it. The navigator weights (standard weight of CS) is 961 lb, then throw in 23 gallons of gas, motors, gear, etc, and I think you might be close to 1700 lbs. Weighed with the trailer..I'd say the 2360 would be about right.
The 690T...big boat, older construction designs and fiberglass...I would not be surprised if the boat and it's gear would weigh 3000 pounds.
As for the vehicle in question, I don't think the engine would be the area of issue for the most part. Hills and such might put a bit of a strain on transmission, but I think the biggest issue is BRAKES... I think it was mentioned quickly earlier... can the vehicle stop the rig? That 1400 boat alone is going to gain some weight with gear, gas, etc... I would guess the trailer under that rig would have brakes on it. If it does, I don't think there would be much issue, save gas mileage. If it didn't have brakes on the trailer, I'd be thinking hard about putting them on...
