23Ft Hourston fully loaded #7500 lbs on the trailer hooked to the truck.
I doubt I'm alone here. I've had a boat for about four years and don't have any real idea as to how much it weighs. So if you have weighed your boat please post the make, model, size, accessories (including motors), type of trailer etc. and its weight fully loaded with fuel and gear.
If we get a bunch of responses it should help other guys guesstimate their boats weight.
I have a 1979 17 ft Hourston glasscraft on a highliner bunk trailer. It has two 4-stroke motors a 60 and an 8.
I'm guessing fully loaded the rig does not exceed 3,000 pounds. I should get it on a scale the next time I have it out and about.
Including the trailer ??reason I ask is my 25 wellcraft sportsmen, was 3900lbs without motor and less then a quarter tank of fuel, empty no gear or anything on board, figure it’s about 6000lbs with gear and motor, mine was weighed on a crane truck with a scale, I just picked it up to put on blocks when I bought it 6 years agoWellcraft 22' coastal W/A with honda 225 and 9.9 was 6500# with half a tank of fuel at the scales in duncan.
Add 1200 or more for a trailer and you're at 7200. Still sounds a little light for a 25. But Hourstons are notoriously heavy and that's what my benchmark is.Including the trailer ??reason I ask is my 25 wellcraft sportsmen, was 3900lbs without motor and less then a quarter tank of fuel, empty no gear or anything on board, figure it’s about 6000lbs with gear and motor, mine was weighed on a crane truck with a scale, I just picked it up to put on blocks when I bought it 6 years ago
well it was a decade ago....but yes it was on a trailer. truck scales, not a crane load monitor.Including the trailer ??reason I ask is my 25 wellcraft sportsmen, was 3900lbs without motor and less then a quarter tank of fuel, empty no gear or anything on board, figure it’s about 6000lbs with gear and motor, mine was weighed on a crane truck with a scale, I just picked it up to put on blocks when I bought it 6 years ago
