Estimate the hull weight (330#), interior (50#), engine (235#), rigging(25#) and gear (30#). Add fuel (6 ga @ x 6lb (36#)

Add 20% as a safety margin

or -

Get the boat/trailer weighed at a scale. Use the total weight for the axle rating.

The weight of the existing trailer (~300 lbs) will be your safety margin.

*Note- There is a high demand for boat trailers. Delivery times are into the spring already. Shop dealers HARD. Prices vary widely for same trailer.
