I have a 2003 Load Rite 18280096RT, The capacity is 2,800 lbs. You can look up the specs on there web site. Its a single axle roller trailer. I don't trailer much more than 3X a year. Splash the boat in the spring when the mooring is ready. Mid to late summer oil change, then haul out in late fall/early winter.
I like the trailer and haven't had any problems. I prefer the rollers over bunks to get out the more shallow ramps. If you plan on doing alot of trailering, you might think about going the next size up.
I'm not sure if Parker includes the engine in their dry weight of 1,950 lbs so I calculated on the conservitive side.
boat 1,950
engine f115 402
fuel 60 gal 360
total 2,712 lbs
Now this doesn't include crankcase oil, anchor, etc. Plus I have the integrated live well/bench seat which I'm sure adds a little weight.
