Hi Guys,

Quite a few posts recently about trailers but nothing that answers my question. Our boat's a 1989 with a Yamaha 50 2 stroke.

I'm about to fit a new axle & suspension units while the boat's on the water, but not sure what weight rating I need to be looking at. I'm guessing we have:

Bare boat - 550 lbs (per specifcations)
Other stuff - 200 lbs (fuel, battery, anchor, etc.)
Motor - 250 lbs
Trailer - 250 lbs

The trailer is shown less the axle which is unsprung weight, and less the towball load.

Total 1250 lbs - does this seem a reasonable estimate ?

Thanks,

Anthony
