Question

How much does a typical trailer capable of hauling a 28 foot sailboat weigh?

Answer 1

Don't guess, take it to the local trash transfer station and ask them to weigh it.  They do it free in my town.  If there is a sand and gravel operation nearby, they could weigh it for you, probably at no cost.

Answer 2

A steel trailer will probably weigh about 500lbs or so.  I had an aluminum trailer for a 23' sailboat and it weighed about 150. I didn't like how it flexed while towing.

Answer 3

wow I have a 28 ft. boat trailer and it ways about 1500 lbs
