Anyone have any idea what the load capacity for this trailer might be?
Unfortunately I am not physically in front of it and can't check the plate.

Thanks

If it has brakes, it is probably 3000# +.

If no brakes, then likely 2600-3000#

19 or 20' trailer? or it held a 19 or 20' boat?

If the trailer is 19' long, it could be only 2300#


Sorry, not enough info to go on.

Hey guys,
Yup, it is a single axle and the 19' to 20' was the designation for the length boat that it was capable of hauling (according to the model#) as the trailer is actually 23'. It does have surge brakes on it as well - so 3,000 lbs?
I'd like to put a 20' bowrider which weights 2780 on it.

That would be a minimum of 3000. Could be a little more, but much more and they usually jump to tandem axle.


Its gonna be close, or way over capacity.

You have to know what the load weight is and gross weight of trailer is. 3000# could be combined total weight and that makes the boat to heavy.

I was told by the seller that the boat which came from the dealer on this trailer was a 2000 Trophy 20' cuddy cabin which according to NADA weights 3,000. My boat weights 2,780, so although its not ideal, it seems that it will work.
