I have a mid 80 gator galvanized trailer. three roller,two short bunks. It carries my 13ft sport. I am having a hell of a time trying to find out the weight of this trailer. The trailer serial number/spec label is long. If any one has a clue. i would appreciate some help

Trying to find the exact weight of your trailer is tricky if you can't actally put the thing on a scale. Manufacturers' specs can be misleading, given that they often apply only to the trailer frame itself, absent wheels, tires, springs, rollers and other accessories. I don't know how precise a measurement you need (or why), but I can tell you with some certainty that galvanized trailers of the size shown in your photo generally check in at somewhere around 350 lb. when road-ready. Hope this helps.
