with comments about being under capacity I am somewhat skeptical.

to be legal your trailer tongue weight should be at least 10% of the total trailer weight. to be generous I would say approx 200lbs
sled weighing approx 500 + lbs (dry weight)
3 guys approx 600lbs. (dry weight) LOL
fuel is 8.66lbs / Gal at 31 Gal = 270 lbs , gear and other stuff such as tie straps I don't see how it could be barly under capacity. But who am I to judge??

I guess the main thing I am saying is be careful !

Where do you get your fuel density from? Gas is light than water buddy. (SG~0.7) The density of water is 8.33 lbs/Gal. May be you should be a little more educated before start adding up another guys math.

Once again I apologize, gas is approx 6.00/gal I need to read a bit further down.
How much does 1 gallon of Gasoline weigh? - Q&A

therefore knock off about 90 lbs..
But I am sure they had beer in a cooler ??LOL

water is 1kg/l. Imp Gal= 4.54l therefore water is closer to 10lb/gal
the 8.33lb/gal is for american gallons

that's at 72 degrees F and at cooler temps it gets more densethus weighing more.
Water weighs about 8.3 pounds/gallon.
Gasoline floats on water.
Therefore, gasoline weighs less than 8.3 pounds/gallon.

This reminds me of something:d

BEDEMIR: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEMIR: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEMIR: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEMIR: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEMIR: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEMIR: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEMIR: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond!
BEDEMIR: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Great gravy!
VILLAGER #1: Cherries!
VILLAGER #2: Mud!
VILLAGER #3: Churches -- churches!
VILLAGER #2: Lead -- lead!
ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEMIR: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
BEDEMIR: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch!
