Leafs, man thats a hard one without scales. I would figure the motor, steering, shifter, battery, and gastanks would weigh about 600 lbs. Boat should weigh about 600 to 800 lbs.. Total in the water weight, about 1200 to 1400 pounds. If the hull is a cheapo, deduct 200 lbs. Goodluck....BushCat

Cruise by your nearby truck weigh station with your boat and weigh it or go to a grain elevator with scales.
