weight of drift boat and trailer

[SSPey]

what's a good guesstimate of the weight of a 16' aluminum driftboat and trailer?

[Bob Barthlow]

Around 5 to 6 hundered pounds

[Salmonator]

900lbs loaded with gear

You're lookin' at just under 300 lbs. for the boat alone (my Fish-Rite specs indicate 285 lbs. for a 16X54 Guide Model)--not considering the added weight of seats, anchors, oars, gear, etc. Trailer? You're guess is as good as mine, but, depending on the make, I'm guessing at least another 300 lbs.

I'm not even going to ask why you need to know! Just remember, lift with your knees. :grin:

My 16' Clackacraft w/ trailer weighed in at about 540#. It can be decieving on the total weight, but I know I'm real close, and it will be pretty close for most boats. :tongue:

You can take it to a truck stop that has a pad scale and if their not busy, pull the boat on the scale and unhook it and pull the truck off the scale. it might cost 5 bucks. But its right on the money.
P.S. Happy & Safe New Year to All :smile:
