[QUOTE="waterant, post: 508145, member: 34810"] I just weighed the boat again with both seats and an empty gas tank: 235LB (empty hull without even bench seats was 105LB) so I added 130LB - not even 1 normal person's worth. It's missing the battery, a few wires for navigation lights, hatch lids, a couple of small walls, paint and eva foam (which is pretty light). I may have to go with a smaller battery because the battery I already have from some other project is almost 40LB or maybe it will actually balance the bow better, I'll test it on the water and it's easy to swap the battery. On the manufacturer's plate, the boat is rated for 654LB load. minus 72LB for my 2-stroke 9HP outboard and 130LB of "upgrades", I still have 452LB left to play with. Yes, it's getting tight but still reasonable. I'll cut my sugar intake and will probably fit just fine. [/QUOTE]
