1974 Thundercraft Playmate?

[saraha1]

Hello again, well I have stepped up from a 17' square back canoe with a 3hp Johnson to a 1974 14' Thundercraft Playmate w/ 50 Hp Mercury.
I am thinking of building a new trailer but I am not sure of the weight of this boat. So here are the questions
What is the weight of this boat?
What is better solid bunks or rollers?

Thanks for any information you can send my way.

Well the 50 hp Merc probably weighs around 175 or 200 and the boat (if it's fiberglass) probably around 300 to 400. But, you'll get better answers from posting in the "boating topics" forum on the home page.
