The weight sounds good, but the Moped motor might be a problem....

General rule of thumb is 7 - 10 % for boat trailers and 10 - 12 % for travel trailers,, so you coud be as low as 700 or as high as 1,000...

guessing at something like towing a 10,000 boat with an undersized vehicle is the express route to meeting your insurance adjustor- or surgeon. have it weighed.
