Is my trailer even legal!!??

[Guppydriver]

I don’t know how I just noticed this. I went to my owners forum (I don’t have a Moomba) but it is really small with not a lot of participation….so I wanted to post here

I don’t see how my trailer that was sold new with my 2021 MB is even in the ballpark of being certificated to trailer my boat. It’s a metalcraft double axle with 20” wheels. There is nothing “special” and the vast majority of boats delivered from my dealer come with this exact trailer.

My boat manufacture’s website lists my boat at 5200 pounds. I just took it through a cat scale and it weighed 7100 pounds with trailer and full gas. The trailer weighs ~1685 according to the placard. That puts my boat at 5400 pounds (and I’m being conservative).

I feel I know what GAWR constitutes (verified be research) and the max cargo weight placard is pretty self explanatory. There is NO way in heck that my boat, completely empty and void of gas) weighs 4315 pounds or less.

Am I missing something ? What would you guys do?
