I often think the published weight is before they put in any of the
creature comforts like seats and consoles, just what is below the

Might be, hasn't been my experience. I buy the brand trailer I like from
a dealer in Virginia Beach and tow it home. With the current trailer,
the traffic was very light on the way home so I pulled into a truck
weigh station and asked if the operator would weigh my boat trailer. I
unhitched it, he weighed it. It was within 25 pounds of what the
manufacturer said it would weigh.

Last year, I pulled into the same weigh station with the boat. It was
within 100 pounds of what Parker said it would weigh with engine,
batteries, some gear and a half tank of fuel, less the weight of the
trailer.

Bull****! Are you trying to tell people here that their published weight
is within 100 lbs. of actual AFTER adding a half of tank of fuel, and
your gear?????? You are full of ****, spoofer.
