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

Take the boat off and weigh the trailer.

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.
