My title actually says 1600 with a 7500gross. It pulls easier than my featherlite did. I need to get a scale weight on it to know for sure. Most steel trailers tend to go atleast 1800. Many are over 2000. My dads steel deck 16ft trailer is near 2000lb.
Get a scale weight on it, I would be really surprised if your trailer weighed 1129.

An extra 5-8 2 x 6's ain't going to add 1000#....may 200# max ?
Mine is advertized at 2000# (full wood deck, dual axle brakes)....BUT, if you look at a decent built trailer Vs. a "cheap" trailer, you'll see the differance.
Heavier guage steel, wider C-channel, and better/more bracing)....but it's your call and $$$$

I doubt my 2900lb Camaro is going to need a 2000lb trailer underneath it to support it. I can see guys that are hauling a heavier car like a 5th gen or something needing the beef. For what I use it for it fits the bill perfectly. Not sure if my trailer falls into the "cheap" category. I don't know what it sold for new, I was told they are around $2500-$2800.

Mine has a wood deck. Never done nothing to as far as coating it. Sat in the AZ sun for 5 years or so and going on 3 or so up here in Washington with no troubles. Do need to build a stone guard for it sooner or later. Use it for a lot more than hauling a car......

Me to. That's why I sold the featherlite and bought this one. It's much more versatile.
Nah....smart...lol
That pic is the 1st time it's ever been on a trailer to go to the track. Glad it was to. I broke a axle and the track was 3hrs from home.

Here's my turd bucket the day I brought it home. Me and a buddy stopped off at home depot. No pics with the car on it because the car has never been on it. Its a 18ft Stagecoach.

I knew it. I looked at ALOT of trailers before I bought my triton. Weight was a big concern for me because I intend on towing it behind my truck camper at some point. Titles weights are not always correct.
