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…..

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

Seaford,

Agreed. The Heritage for our PQ280 weighs 2200lbs. (We actually had to weigh it, less boat, to get registration for it when after buying it). It would seem it would take more than an additional 250lbs of steel to support an additional 25% longer hull, including a second engine.

Thanks. Brad.

Scippy,

Can't hardly argue with that. :silenced:

My NextTrail aluminum I-beam triple axle torsion sprung steel wheeled trailer for a 26 footer weighs 1600 which I was blown away it was that much .

I think the thick 12 foot long 4 by 12 bunks and the steel wheels are 1/2 the weight.
