Ballpark, of course! Or as my old HS shop teacher used to say:

The trailer weighs on its own 565 LBS. add 6 sheets of 1/2" ply at 50LBS each and another 50 for the tarp, that's an extra 350LBS, so total weight would be 915LBS. Compare with a typical steel trailer at 1100LBS without adding anything to it. In the summer, with my four kids, I carry 3 quads. While hunting I usually take two quads, at the V front is the stove with the bucket full of 2x4 chunks and the cots. Easy driving, trailer does not have brakes. The Triton LT12VR-101 snowmobile trailer is nice in that the sides has a 2" lip which makes it easy to attach the plywood to it, nice and clean, that is opposed to a steel trailer and the stake and pocket look. I painted the plywood silver gray to mimic a full aluminum side. Incidentally, if wanting to purchase a Triton, Martin equipment can't be beat as they truck them in with their heavy equipment from the States, about 500 to 800 bucks cheaper than anybody else.
