Weigh trailer

[Officialcsmith]

Kind of random question but I need to weigh just my boat trailer to get it registered since it’s from Georgia. Trying to figure out the closest/easiest way to do it. I’m located in Tallahassee. Mainly wondering the best place to drop the boat off and where to get the trailer weighed. TIA

If the boat isnt too big, launch @ ochlocknee river on hwy 90E & have someone stay with it for a few minutes while you run the trailer down to the Pilot truck stop that has certified scales. Takes only a few minutes to get a weight slip.

Gotcha yeah it’s a 17ft boat. Is it wide and deep enough around there? Under that bridge right? And those scales will be able to pick up the weight of that trailer? Gotta be under 1k lbs.

Do a search of prior posts or PM reelhandy. He used a scale in St. Marks to weigh a trailer and you could launch the boat at the Fort or Shields and tie it off for a bit. Can't remember which facility he used, though and not sure if they would be open on weekends.

Not sure. If not, you could use one of the talquin landings off hwy 20. Would take a little longer though.

Plenty deep and wide. I fish there all the time. I've seen 20 foot bass boats use the ramp.
