I would guess the combo in the 1500-2000lb range (1200lb boat/ 500lb trailer), but I never worked the carnivals guessing weight. Have a scrap yard nearby with a drive on scale? This may get moved to another forum, just a heads up.

Full of gas,couple of coolers,pfd s,fishing gear,tackle box maybe 1850 to 1900.

Just a wild guess.

I had a 16.5' 73 SeaSwirl tri-hull with a Mercruiser 140HP and it weighted 3200# with the trailer, had it scaled. This weight is a bit high since the foam was soaked and it had a full load of gear, coolers, ice drinks, fuel, etc, etc.

The only real way to find out the weight is to have it scaled.

Well, it depends. Are the stringers and transom rotten and the foam full of water? If so, add about 500 to 700 lbs to whatever estimate you have.

I have a sportcraft a foot shorter and if I remember right the boat is 850lbs without the engine and I would guess the trailer is 350lbs but if I wanted to know the real weight I would take it to the scales

nah, that was just a "hope" without really knowing. I'm going to give it to a buddy with a 2001 blazer. (reason I'm asking) I'm getting a 14 foot aluminum boat for the g20. Thanks for the link to the boat site and the educated guesses. :D
