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

This Target looks very well made too very little surface rust and towes well too , no longer in business I believe

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.

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…..
