1985 Rinker bowrider. I/O Mercruiser engine. I am guessing no more than 2500?

Give more details, length of boat, motor, and drive. <br /><br />That could be 35 foot boat with twin 454's for all I know. :D ;) Being a smart arse, but really, give more details.

That wasn't too smart on my part. The boat is 16 feet long, 120hp Mercruiser.

They gain weight as they age, just like people . . . ;) Also, don't forget to add the trailer, gear, fuel, more gear, beer, ice (for the beer) if you are looking for towed weight . . .

1,700# dry weight from 1985. From what I have seen posted you might take a stab at about 2200# or 2300# now (give or take 10,000# - LOL). Add a trailer and you could be in the 2700# range.<br /><br />This is just a SWAG from what I have seen posted. I would not trust it for anything other than if you really want to know find a truck scale.

Don't guess, don't try to look it up, take it to a public scale and have it weighed ! <br /><br />My boat turned ot to weigh about 1,000 lb more than the "published weight". :rolleyes:
