I have a 226 Seafarer, and a single F225. It is fully rigged with hard top, full enclosure, kicker motor, full electonics including radar, 4 down riggers and a galvanized trailer. Full of gas and with everything on board it weighs close to 8,500 lbs including trailer. It tows just fine with a 3/4 ton pickup, and I would not suggest using a lighter tow vehicle.

I don't know what BMT is but I can tell you this:
Our Voyager on a heavy-duty steel roller trailer, no water, 30 gallons of fuel, and no hard top, and minimal gear weighs in at 7300. I was told an AL bunk trailer would drop my weight about 500 lbs.
Figure twins adds 500 lbs.
If you are wondering for towing purposes, a 1/2 ton Chevy or Toyota with a 6.0 or 5.7 respectively tows it without issue including mountains.
