The trials continue to get this boat I bought from Brooklyn to Pennsylvania in one piece. I acquired a dual axle trailer in decent condition (new tires at least!) from a guy in Maryland and I'm currently working on retrofitting it to fit my boat. (Rebuilding the bunks, repacking bearings, installing lights, and flushing the brakes among other things.)
I plan on completely stripping everything out of this boat that isn't fastened down before I tow it home. With a 5.7 Mercruiser inboard that I'm estimating at about 900# (according to the Merc website, rounding up), can someone give me a rough idea how much this thing weighs? I'd call the marina, but they'd probably charge me a hundred bucks for an "educated guess."
It's from 1973, 26' long, about 11' at its widest, empty gas tanks, no batteries or anything, just a large, empty boat and motor. For lack of any good overall pictures, it's pretty much identical to this (minus furnishings & canopy):
