Humpy,
I really wonder if the 750 lbs includes the boat or not and how that would play out in the courtroom. I would think it would include the boat because it's purpose built and always carrying it. However, we don't register flat bed to include the weight of the 4-wheelers we carry. Boat trailers are rarely towed anywhere empty, so I have a hunch "the man" would interpret it as including the boat.
I'm in the same situation as you. Single axle trailer under 750 lbs empty, but well over with my boat loaded. I figure I'm in the 1500 lb range loaded. I've never been cited or even looked at by DWR/police.
