Approx Weight Of e25GR Axle, e84SR Leaf Spring And AM30090 Wheel/Tire

Question:

Im designing a small aluminum boat trailer that can be hoisted onto a truck rack while traveling, leaving the hitch free to pull a camping trailer. Weight of course is important. The boat itself is light - approximately 175 lbs, and the aluminum trailer frame is approximately 90 lbs. Im trying to choose light weight, but correctly sized components. Im considering the following and wondering what the weight of each would be, or are there better suited components. Axle - e25GR 48inch mounting centers work fine Leaf Springs - e84SR Wheels/tires - AM30090 need 18inch OD Thanks.
