Boat and motor probably weighs about 850 or a bit more. Most 1200-lb. capacity trailers use 2-leaf springs. It's possible the original springs were exposed to a lot of salt water and not rinsed. I've got 2-leaf springs on my 13 (WI - fresh water only) and the trailer is a 1980's vintage with no sign of overloading, nor corrosion.
