Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I always go heavy on a trailer just in case you end up loading the boat up for a trip.
If the trailer is fitted to the boat correctly, you should not have damage occurr. I have seen damage on a friend's boat. The trailer never fit the boat too well (too wide of a trailer) and the boat always sat on the rollers cock-eyed. Due to this, the rollers were not supporting the boat on the boat's stringers, and the roller pushed through the aluminum.
If the boat only weighs 310 (as they say) and the motor is 100, a 1200lb trailer would be the weight rating of trailer I would want.. Better to have extra than not enough..
