Brouchures that i have found say 7000lbs. I was hoping to loose at least 500lbs of dead weight. Still something in the advertised boat doesn't add up if the calculator i used was remotely close. Put the #'s in yourself , my hope is that the power is well overrated by the seller ,or the speed is way low.

only along the v area and it has been repaired for a long time now. black sides, white deck with orange paint underneath it. Had the tall windshield. maybe 15 years ago now. that was a great boat and ran strong.
