weight of boat

[alabamadawg]

Can someone give me an idea of the weight of my boat....17ft bass tracker with an 85 hp motor...buying new trailor parts for it and needed to know what strength of winch to buy.

Thanks

Aluminum? I'd estimate about 1500lbs, with that motor.

Re: weight of boat

so a 1600 lb winch should do the trick....

More than enough. After all, you're not dead-lifting the boat!

check out your boat on NADA. they list the dry weight of boats and motors. how accurate they are i'm not sure
