a bare 1962 13 should weight 250 lbs. I have flipped my 1971 over solo but I would not suggest it. two or three should be able to flip it easily and set it down gently.

As Kamie said, one person can flip it but it gets kind of awkward and an extra hand gives piece of mind. The extra person truly helps when getting on the trailer upside down.

It all depends on how rough you want to be on the hull. there were two of us that flipped my 13 from the ground to the trailer. My 13 weighed 400# and it nearly did the two of us in. It sat on the trailer a couple years and didn't loose that much weight. I flipped it off the trailer and onto the ground but I knew I would need to spray new gelcoat so a couple nicks wasn't a big deal
