JDP Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 My little Honda 90 struggles on the back of my little 4.2m centre console. Im putting a 115 on it soon but I thought I would take it the the local weigh bridge today as the fuel tank and boat are empty at the moment. I was quite surprised to find it came in at 1240kg empty. No wonder its so solid and stable. Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I have always wondered how much your boat weighs. Now we all know, thanks for the clarification 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my boat weighs 1800 kg dry, not including a trailer. However I don’t know if heavier is necessarily better, considering my old BMX weighs twice that of my genesis hybrid bike. 7 hours ago, JDP said: As a comparison the Arvor 20mk2 weighs in at 1800kg on a much heavier dual excel trailer, which as you would be aware of is a far bigger outfit.

Malc Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Strangely enough I was thinking about boat weights today as I will be helping my friends trailer their boat prior to our trip out west. The last time it was a Reiver, this time its a quicksilver 6-something but the towing vehicle is still a land so should be fine if thirsty and we aren’t going to be tanking it.

JDP Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Weight certainly improves the ride in rough water at speed however its also a downside when towing long distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
