KaperKarl Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi All What do you reckon as a real rough estimate your average 14 foot cat would weigh and what a trailer would weigh. I have to come up with rough estimates for a VIN plate (atm and tare) as the trailer has never been registered before. Any guess's estimates greatly appreciated and you will have extremely good karma coming to you Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Rogers Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Well a Hobie 14 minimum weight is 109kgs and if two guys can lift the trailer then i'd say the trailer would be under 200kgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose Change Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Take it to a public weighbridge and have it weighed, easy, no guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 put down 350 kg ,it doesn't matter as long as it's not over 750kg ,after that you need to be looking at brakes for the trailer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catboy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Public weigh-bridge is a good idea if you don't mind the fuss. Do you own a Caper Cat. http://beachcatsaustralia.ning.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Recently went through this in NSW: - register trailer only, unloaded. Dont even show them the boat. The load you carry doesn't have to be registered. - under 250kg means it doesn't need power brakes or annual inspection - public weighbridge ticket required, or weight listed on previous rego My 7 x 4 box trailer was 175kg. I've added a timber rack to carry 2 Paper Tigers and pulled about 320kg behind my 800kg Barina; such as UP Brown Mountain to Canberra! No worries.
