Weight of 1993 Lowe 185 pontoon boat?

[EricJRW]

I could have sworn I had this written down, now I can't find it.

Trying to determine weight of boat. Specs in title of post.

I've also posted in the Evinrude forum for motor weight (http://forums.iboats.com/johnson-evinrude-outboards/weight-1993-evinrude-model-ve50tletf-619827.html).

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Eric

I just purchased a 1994 Lowe L185F with a 50 hp force (i know, I know), and no furniture with an excellent trailer and deck for $1k. I did some research and found this out on nadaguides or kbb, i forget which.

1994 Sun Cruiser by Lowe L185F 18 Fun-N-Fish
This Sun Cruiser by Lowe pontoon has a aluminum hull, is 18.75 feet long and 96 inches wide at the widest point. The boat weighs approximately 1200 pounds with an empty fuel tank and without any gear or passengers.

Engine Information:
This boat may have come with the following or other engines :
(In the interest of safety, never exceed the manufacturer's maximum horsepower rating for your boat.)
50 hp outboard (Ouboard Max HP: 50 hp)

That's VERY helpful... So the 1200 pounds includes the motor?

I had 2000 lbs in my mind, so this number is better. The boat is hung by 3/16" wire rope, through a single pulley at each corner. 3/16" has a working limit of 840# (or maybe it's 860), so either way I'm well withing spec (even for a single piece or wire rope at each corner).

Thank you for this information!
