Trailer weight

[Nbigger]

I have a 1990 Sport Nautique with a factory trailer. I am having trouble getting it registered because it was registered out of state and they do not have the weight ( not on title ). Is there any info on correct craft trailers that I could find the weight or will I have to dock the boat and take the trailer to a scale? Thanks for any help, Nick

RE: Trailer weight

Surely they use a range of weights to establish a particular class of trailer. I would find out what the ranges are and put the weight in the lowest range. They asked me when I registered my trailer and I took a WAG and told them 900 pounds, not a question or a blink of an eye, she checked a box and took my money.

It looks like MI has a range from 0 to 2499lbs, any weight in there and you pay the same fee.

According to the 1990 Sales Brochure, the trailers for the Sport Nautique were 1150 lbs for single axle, and 1300 lbs for a tandem. BKH

Thanks it is a single axle. I tried to tell her it was 1000 lbs. But she said she needed some sort of documentation. Is there a site were I can download the sales brochure and take take it to them?

Thanks, Nick
