Re: boat weight

The only way to know is to take it to a scale. Truck stop, junk yard. Look in the yellow pages or do a web search. The manufacturer can tell you the dry weight without fuel, accessories, trailer, etc.

Re: boat weight

www.nadaguides.com has it listed as:<br />Length: 21' <br /> Model Name/Description: 2288 WA <br /> Boat Type: Stern Drive Power Boat <br /> Hull Material: Fiberglass <br /> Beam: 8' <br /> Engine: 1<br />165 HP<br />Gasoline <br /> Net Weight: 2,850 <br />This is the "base" weight and your 5.0 should be fairly close to the I-6 maybe a 100 lbs differant. Additionally, you have to add in the weight of fuel, accessories and other assorted junk we all carry.<br /><br />Bob

Hey Bob<br /><br />I just tried to get that same info you did on Nadaguides.com but once in site I could not figure out where to get the info. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great. I will also try to use this when I look for a trailer Thanks Cool It !!!
