Help Identifying my boat and its capacity.

[cheburashka]

OK, in a previous thread I posted a picture of my new Glasply. It's a 17.5' with a Mercruiser 140 and a pre-Alpha outdrive. It had two Coast Guard badges on it, one glued over the other. The top one identified it as a 181SL with a persons capacity of 920# and a weight capacity of 920#. The other badge identified it as a 175Sl with persons capacity of 1200 and weight capacity of 1600. <br /><br />Anyone know what these model numbers refer to? <br /><br />Is the capacity on the first badge 920+920, or 920 total? Is the second badge saying 2800# total capacity? That sounds like an awful lot.<br /><br />One final thing--anyone know the weight of a boat like this? I'm going to be buying a trailer and I'd like to know whether I need trailer brakes to pull it with an RWD small pickup.<br /><br />Any help is appreciated!

Mr. Sam2,<br /><br />Still looking for a Glasply? I have a rare find.<br />At an estate sale in Texas, I found a like new, 1981 16' Glasply. This boat was in a closed garage covered with a fitted tarp. This boat was properly winterized the last time it was put up in 1999. This boat has no more than 15 hours and is in excellent condition. <br /><br />Let me know if you are interested.

iam1golf,<br /><br />Thanks for the info, I am personally only interested in the 181 ( outboard model ) to rebuild or restored, but it sounds like that 16' will be a good boat for someone.
