I'm contemplating the purchase of the 15.5' DeltaCraft shown below, but need some help with towing weight. Would someone know the approximate weight of the boat and motor (50hp evinrude)? I'll add the trailer weight.

Thanks in advance,

I guess the bigger question is what are you planning on pulling it with? doesn't look that heavy I would think it should be a easy pull.

My guess about 820 KG or 1800 lbs

i recently pulled a very similar boat, 1 foot longer with an 85. I KNOW the total weight of that thing wasn't 1800 pounds, i'm guessing all up weight with trailer was closer to 1500 max. (it towed easier than my current boat which is 1600 or so, and a much smaller target for wind resistance)

Thank you everyone for the replies. To answer an earlier question, I would like the ability to tow with our 2002 Honda CRV (1500lb capacity). I know the railer is quite heavy and would trade it in for a lighter one.

This helps me a bunch, thanks again,

Dave
