Boat is 2800. Not sure about the trailer. Really don’t have a lot of gear in the boat while traveling.

The trailer is probably close to 1,500lbs. So you are at around 10%. A bit heavy but if your vehicle is below its 80% capacity you are probably okay.
If moving the tongue is really hard to move, then I would not loose much sleep over it. I have towed with 800+lbs tongue weight and I am telling you your truck will tell when it is not happy

Yea I think it’s fine. My camper is 700 tongue weight. The boat is fine behind my truck. My wife’s suv it squats it pretty good. Just wanted to make sure it was right.

If the scale is out and about, it would be awesome to check the boat trailer. @Betik is it possible for me to get back on the list?

@Jameson Clark I would like to be after you

Thanks @Betik
Working on getting it to me and then I'll ship it on.

Side note... I thought the process was for anyone who had the scale was responsible for shipping it to the next person in line. Did something change along the way and the person receiving it pays for it? Seems backwards and harder for no reason.

@Jameson Clark that is probably my fault. More often than not the scale ends up in my house. And my wife is not particularly thrilled that not only we make the scale available, but also pay for shipping around the US :(

Went to use the scale today and it appears somewhere along the way, it has gotten messed up. It is giving readings that are way off it seems. Hate this has happened to a scale that was being generously offered to use by a member. @Betik , what would you like to do at this point?

Toss is away I guess. that Scale has put about 20+ safer trailer on the road so it had a good run :)
