Weight of Boat

[mulliganmagic]

I have a 1975 K-Craft fiberglass bass boat. It is 15.5 feet long and 6 feet wide. I'm not sure how much it weighs and I am curious to estimate my speed with a 70 hp motor that I am considering buying. My guess is around 500 lbs. Can anyone tell me if my guess is accurate, low, high? Thanks.

I think 750 - 850 + motor, fuel, crew and gear would be more like it.
