Trailer weight guess
 

Hi anyone have an idea how heavy a 1980s steel Target 6 wheel trailer is 36 ft long Its carrying a 35 narrow body cigarette
Having a bet with my friend so a lot at stake Free breakfast for the nearest weight , hopeing he dont see this might come under the heading CHEATING .

I’ll guess 3600….. 3675 if it’s got a spare wheel mounted on it.

Yes it has a spare wheel and I should of said I have a shipping weight when it was shipped to the UK of 4535 KG boat and trailer .

A 1982 steel myco trailer for 35' Cigarette is 2,450lbs.

That's just over a ton I figured around the Ton to a ton and a half , those Myco,s are top draw I believe and very well Built ,
This Target looks very well made too very little surface rust and towes well too , no longer in business I believe

It's not a guess, I have the manufacturer's statement of origin. Who's buying who breakfast? Lol

Is the trailer made from C Channel or tubing?

Steel shapes/sizes all have weight specs per lineal ft length.

C Channel is the easiest to confirm.

Measure/estimate the total lineal length of all steel pieces and do the math. Add thr 3 axles and wheels estimates and the bunks/hitch...you'll get into an accurate ball park of the net trailer weight.

Ok I will let you know how much it weighs when we lift the boat off and the trailer up , I am going with 1 ton and 1\4
Full English Breakfast is in the post 😂🇬🇧

The Heritage trailer for my Baja weighs just over 2,400 pounds...it was built for a 27' boat. Twin axle. With that in mind, my guess would be ~3,300 pounds.

that sounds really low to my Scippy. I’ve always wanted to weigh mine - maybe next summer when I pull the boat off I’ll try to find some local scales…..
