I keep a spread sheet that logs all the weight in my boat. It makes making changes easy as I can use it to make sure my side to side weight is always right before testing. With all the testing I thought it would be fun to weight the boat and see how close my spread sheet is. I pulled everything out of the boat that isn't permanently mounted and put the boat on the scale.
It was a cool test, because I ended up finding nearly 70lbs of gear in my boat I don't need. I had multiple large sockets and an impact gun....
I bought two digital scales on amazon. Hooked a cherry picker to the back of the boat and a chain hoist to the garage rafter to pick the nose (I did calcs to make sure it would hold) and made the pick.
The total weight was 2,006lbs. That is boat, motor, and drivers seat. No batteries, gas, or trolling motor.
When I add batteries, gear, and gas back in that has me fishing right at about 2,750lbs with me in the boat and power poles. Pretty incredible the boat can clip along at over 100 and be this heavy.
I will give it to Allison. They make a bad to the bone ride.
