Re: my new mfg gypsy

wow, that is much nicer lookin than mine! but this is my first boat, and i think we are going to use it as is for now and in a few years maybe buy a newer boat and somewhat restore this one.


does anyone know what the capacity of the gypsy 14 is? the plate on the boat is not legible, and the only thing i can find online is that the weight capacity is 1175 lbs ( i think), but does that include the motor?

i would assume that it would be 4 people, but does anyone know for sure?
