Does anyone have any resources to find this info for me. Have contacted Checkmate Boats with no luck. I have an '85 Enticer 16' with 90hp Evinrude. Plate says rated for 6 persons or 780 lbs & 125 hp but no hull weight. Would like to know for prop/possible motor upgrade decisions. Thanks to all who can offer advice.

Your empty hull weight is 750 lbs w/o motor and rigging. The 90 hp Evinrude weighs about 300 lbs.<br /><br />Bob

Thanks Bob, was just guessing that it weighed around 1,000# or so. Just curious, where did you find the info?

You can get weights of most motors and hulls from NADA

Thanks for the link MG, hadn't seen it in awhile. They have obviously updated with much more info.
