    Talon weight?

    Can someone post the weights of the gen 2 talons. All I can find is the length of the talon itself. THANKS in advance.

    I get the shipping weight, but they are not that much. Size mattered I think 8' was 39# 10 was 43#. 12 was 47#. Don't forget the bracket if applicable

    I know both my gen two 12's with the bracket are right around 100lbs.

    I read somewhere that a Gen2, 12' Talon is 60lbs.

    The 15s will add right around 180 with brackets and all if not more. Shipping weight for one side set up with tilt brackets was about 90lbs, 70 for the talon, 8 for the tilt and I think 16 for the bracket.

    tilt bracket may come in at 3-4 pounds not 8, and 60 for a 12 with bracket tilt and 12' sounds right.

    I won't lie, if I would have known how much the 15s really weighed I would have went lighter. I didn't loose a lot of performance but I can tell they are back there. Really though, it's only about the same as having a verado on there
    Edit: I lied, I still would have went 15s. Why short yourself lol

    My boat is better overall under every condition AFTER adding the 15 footers.
