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.

If BS was music....you'd be a brass band!
