According to this site the Catalina 29rls (2011 model) is 32 feet long, weighs 7684lbs dry, and has a dry hitch weight of 694lbs. That hitch weight will go up by about 300 lbs or so when you are ready to go camping.

I agree with the statement above that the coupler on that trailer will require a 2-5/16 in ball.
