Useful Quote from the Factory:

Thank you for your interest in Triumph Boats. You need a vehicle with a tow rating of at least 5,000 lbs. The trailer for a 190 bay is approximately 800 lbs. The factory T-Top is around 70 lbs. By the time you add fuel, gear, options you wind up pulling a pretty substantial load. I have seen fully loaded 190 bays BMT packages exceed 4,000 lbs.
You do not want to be real close to the maximum trailering capacity of your vechicle.

The tongue weight can be adjusted and is dependent on the motor, weight distribution, etc. In general tongue weight should be 10% of the total load. So on a 190 bay is should be 300 - 400 lbs. You can go on the lighter side, but I would not use less than 250 lbs. Light tongue weight can make trailers misbehave and prone to jack knife.
