Thanks for the replys , The reason I ask and am going to weigh my boat and trailer , Illinois passed new trailer/tow rig inspections and plates and is cracking down ! , found the currency exchange plated my trailer wrong to begin with I have TB trailer plates , good to up to 5k pounds, TC plate is good for 5,001-8,000 pounds and TD plates are 8,001 - 10,000 pounds I know im on the border line of 8,000 give or take , if I am over 8,001 pounds I need the TD plate , and with that plate my trailer and tow rig needs to be Inspected ! Im also running B plates on my truck , If Im over the 8,001 pound range I have to get the D plate , total BS !!! just another way for Illinois to get our money , If caught towing with out the safety inspection sticker or driving with a expired sticker it is a class C Misdemeaner ,up to $1,000. in fines

Also any trailer in the state of Illinois must have brakes on all axles in order to pass the safety inspection, cant remember if mine has that or not , this Saturday I have to check , just another thing to spend money on ,lol

I would estimate about #8500. I have the exact same setup and the previous owner estimated at the same. I needed to know before picking it up for the first time for a tow vehicle. Not sure what trailer brand you have, my ez loader has drums on both axles.

You will be surprised to find that many trailers do not have brakes on all axles even though many states require it.

Well, I just told you that I had mine weighed and the total weight was 16,300#. I also told you that my truck weighs 6,000#. So, my total weight for the boat and trailer is 10,300#. I have a generator and A/C which adds a little weight, otherwise, I'm just the next size up. I would think that your rig is going to be pretty close to 9,000#.
