I would guestimate it being in the 700kg - 1000kg bracket.
Steel wheel arches are heavy as are solid axles and drum brakes (if applicable).

My guesstimate was 2400-2700.... The problem, is in the state of Michigan any trailer over 2500 pounds goes to the 'next step' of trailers and there is more involved in licensing them. Looking for somebody that has one.

I would guess 1,700-1,900 lbs. My double axle is just short of 1,500.

Im curious on the extra involvement in a trailer over 2500# Did the SOS give you that info? Anyways, that trailer is well under 2000#. I have one a fair bit larger and it just weighs 2500#

Yes, the SOS gave us that infomation, no, I don't know what they 'next step' is. She didn't really get into it, as she was pretty confident that I wouldn't have to worry about it.

You don't say exactly which year and model the boat is, but Four Winns numbers for the triple axle trailer under a 1997 278 Vista show a weight of 1980 pounds.

Not sure of the year as the info sticker is faded and unreadable. The boat is a 1994, and is believed to have been with the past 3 owners... No idea on the time frame.
