    Weight of a 82 Champion 186 With a 82 150 Evinrude

    I was wondering if anyone knows the weight? I have a fshing buddy that thinks his 2004 Nitro 18 footer weighs more. I do not think so. Champions are known for their weight, and it is old on top of that which means it probably is heavier than newer Champions.
