does anyone know the weight of the stock trailer. The light blue one with the stripes.. they made a ton of em. Without the boat. I need the weight for the dmv. I really hope somebody out there already knows the weight of the trailer.

Do you have the published dry weight of the boat & engine? If so, take the whole rig to a truck scale and weigh it. Every trailer boater should do that anyway. Then subtract the boat & engine from the total.

In NY you have to take the empty trailer to a certified scale and get a weight ticket to bring to the dmv. It costs like 20 bucks and pretty much every truck stop has one.

The Michigan SOS will need a weight slip also.

Weigh the trailer empty and bring in the weight slip. Don't even bother going to the office until you have the weight slip in hand. The trailer will be around 700-900 lbs.

I've had to block a boat up and get the trailer out from under to get it to a scale. Considering the time of year it is you may have to do something similar.

In Mass, they wanted to know what the load is. The trailer is rated for 8000lbs. and the dealer wrote that on the DMV forms. So it ended up costing me $200 a year, more than what it cost to insure. So I had new DMV doc made up to 6000lbs, so now is cost me $160.00 per year to use a trailer that I ONLY use twice a year. OK, if a storm comes up, 3 times a year.

I just paid the prop. tax on it for the year "$5.00". It must cost them $2.50 just to mail it & do the paper work on it!

I looked on the Four Winns past product info section:
http://www.fourwinns.com/service/past_product

It says H180 empty trailer weight 620 lbs.

When I went to register mine they said I could print the page off the four winns website and that would work. I haven't been back yet but I did find the weight on the factory website. How are they really going to know the difference anyway. I think 2500lbs is the cut off and my dual axle is only 1080.
