[QUOTE="lckstckn2smknbrls, post: 384247, member: 850"] I highly doubt it's a 3000 pound capacity trailer. It may have lic plates for up to 3000 pounds but you are limited by several factors. 1) The tires are probably a B range tire with a capacity of 590 each, 1180 total. 2) The springs are 500 pound to 750 pounds each, 1000 pounds to 1500 pounds. 3) The axle depending on spindle, bearing size and construction is probably 1000 to 2000 pounds. So your tires are probably your limiting factor. What's your boat and trailer weigh? What's your tongue weight? You want about 10% of the total weight on the tongue other wise the trailer can become dangerously unstable when towing Having the transom over hanging the bunks can create a hook in the bottom of the hull.
