It is my understanding that the boat trailer itself needs to weigh 750 lbs or less, not the weight limit. My boat trailer is a single axle and weighs less than 750 lbs but my boat is around 1700 lbs. Have not had a plate on it for several years. I could be wrong but have never been ticketed?

You are correct and I doubt most people even weight their trailer but they told me it is very unlikely they will ever issue a ticket for an unlicensed single axle trailer, unless they were just looking to give you a ticket for some other reason and wanted to add on another ticket, then you would have to prove it was under 750 lb by having it weighed. When I bought the boat and trailer they advised me to license it, to get it in my name but they said after that it was up to me if i wanted to license it but it was not required.
