Help with boat weight.......

[Oskar]

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,

Dave

Re: Help with boat weight.......

Just eyeballing that rig, I'd say, 800 for the hull, empty (and assuming it doesn't have water-logged wood or foam...), 250 for the motor and another 300 for the trailer. Add 200 pounds for gas and gear and all-up you are probably in the 1350-1500 range.

You can probably get more accurate that this, especially if you take it to a weigh scale station.

Thanks for the estimate. This is in the ballpark for the Honda CRV we would like to tow with.
