I purchased the boat second hand and unfortunately, the trailer's VIN tag had fallen off and was not provided by the seller. As such, I don't know the specs of the current Cox trailer. I am seeking to know what weight capacity would be recommended for the new trailer to be purchased. 1988 Super Sport 15 & 2021 Yamaha F70LA "The sea is selective; slow at recognition of effort and aptitude, but fast in sinking the unfit." - Riesenberg

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. Edited by Phil T on 12/05/20 - 8:02 AM 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I inquired about a new torsion axle for mine, dealer said he had a customer waiting on one for months already. I did see an axlesless design on another website that was pretty cool, about same price as a new torsion axle though.
