Does any one know of a website that publishes weights of various makes of boat trailers? I have a EQ4315 little dude and I am looking for a weight.

I agree. A recycling center will also have scales. I paid $5.00.

Re: trailer weights

Gotta assume you've looked for the manufacturer's tag? Most commercially built trailers have or had one.

Re: trailer weights

Are you looking for the empty weight of the trailer, or its GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) which is its capacity (weight of trailer and load). Generally the ID plate will provide the GVWR but it won't list the empty weight. Look at the maximum load rating on the tires. That pretty much determines the maximum load anyway.

How about looking for the manufacturers website? Lots have posted the manuals for the trailer, and it would give all the weights.

Mine lists the GVWR and the load capacity. The difference is the weight of the trailer. ;)
