I am looking at a SeaRay 2008 47 sedan bridge. My only concern is will a 500 lb dinghy allow the boat to get up to speed? Will there be any problem getting up on plane?

Re: Dinghy weight

Welcome to the forums,

Are you going to hung it onboard or tow it behind Sea Ray ? Is it a sib or rib ? Which size & engine is it to weight 500 Lbs.

Happy Boating

The dinghy is rigid and weighs 550 lbs wet. It will sit on a hydraulic lift that is on the 47 sedan bridge.
