Asking the hive mind for advice:

I’m eyeing a refurbished Rhodes 22 1973 with a single-axle Triad trailer.  I’ve seen a *wild* range of displacement values for Rh22, and a similarly wild range for trailer weights.  What I know from the manufacturer is that the 1970s boats are lighter - likely because they don’t have in-mast furling and use balsa core rather than marine foam - but the one in question has been refurbished with a marine head installation, so it’s not the original-spec.  Further, Triad trailers can be two-axle and one-axle, and this one is one-axle.  
Are there any owners here with a 1970s vintage boat and a single axle triad trailer who can weigh in (pun intended) with their boat and trailer total weight?  My Sienna isn’t supposed to pull anything above 3500, so this is an important question for me.
