Hey mate.... Unsure on what the rated capacity is but it should tow the tinny nicely.. I have towed a 14ft fibreglass boat easily

I don't think a 14' tinny and trailer will exceed 500kg.

Not unless you fill the tinny up with loads of camping gear etc, for a camping trip.

You could always ask if you could use the weigh bridge at your local tip or truck depot to get and accurate weight of the boat & trailer.
