Guys, the pre-epoxy 51's were 15k so not sure what to tell ya about weight othe than 12k is correct for the epoxy 51' IMHO. I seem to remember 500 gal tank but don't quote me.

I have never seen a boat website that quotes "Wet weight". Wouldn't be very good marketin when the comparison to all other boats are advertized DRY weight. But, I have not taken the time to look at the website, nor do I care to take that time so if I am wrong please disregard.

Fuel is 6 lbs a gallon - you're killing us with mis-information on this thread
