I need to get tags for my trailer today & just found out I'll need to know the empty weight. I know it's posted on the trailer but I don't have enough lunchtime to go all the way home & back to the courthouse. I thought somebody might know right offhand what a single axle, channel iron trailer might weigh - it's a 1980 Dilly, about 18 feet overall (for a 15-foot boat). I'm estimating 300lbs empty and 2500 total capacity. Per nadaguides.com the hull weighs 425 & motor is 230. The fees for under 4000lbs gross wt are the same so I just need to be in the ballpark.<br /><br />Don't go to a lot of trouble but if this sounds way off I'd appreciate your input.<br /><br />thanks,<br />jtw
