Unfamiliar Engine!

They made two Black Scorpions back then. Not sure if it's the same now.  One that was a 5.7 and one a 6.2.  So nothing out of the ordinary here.

does an lx on a trailer even weigh enough to need brakes?

No, they rusted out on our Echelon about 3 years in (trailer company out of business now). I towed it 600 miles with a mercury villager with zero issues. Those boats weigh nothing.

Beautiful and a brand new trailer close to home.

Wow, brand new 4-5K trailer at that price?  The teak looks like it needs a little love but otherwise looks great.

That does look sweet - It's kinda a done deal for the one in FL, I'm trying to schedule to leave this weekend, plus I need a single axel trailer I think due to more weight for the towing extremes, not that my Ackie couldn't tow it, I don't think it would want to!

Tandem is actually nice when you have an undersized tow vehicle.  Take a lot of the hitch bounce out of the ride.  The trade off is the extra 500lbs or so.

 

Good luck on your trip

That trailer has to weigh 1250lbs - half as much as the boat.  At least.  Seriously.  My old single axle clocks in at 940lbs, verified via Cat Scale locally.

Something is strange about that boat.  It's also listed in Orlando and the guy has Orlando phone number (not to mention Orlando area code on the door of the shop behind him).  Also wonder what's up with the upholstery.  The side bolsters look very deformed where the Malibu badges compress them.

That isn't so odd.  My dad has a Florida phone number and a couple cars with WI plates   Phone number is for Midwest custom Motorsports in Orlando

 

Boat was probably reupholstered at some point

Congrats on the boat and safe travels.
