Download an archived brochure from Grady's website. Don't forget to add for gear, fuel, water, batteries and any adjustment for your engine.

That was fun to research.
The 77 Overnighter hull weighs 2200 pounds. For a 2 stroke motor assume 500 pounds with prop. It could be more for a big motor or a bit less for a smaller 2 stroke. Add typical load of gas at approx 6 pounds per gallon and water at 7 pounds. Add something for gear. Then add 15% for safety margin and you will get a reasonable weight that the trailer should be rated for.
