Depends on fuel tank, engine and gear. Hull-just south of 3000lbs. Then add Engine, boat gear-electronics, T-top, Battery(s), anchor + chain, etc. Next add fuel - 7 lb/gal and tank, Fishing gear, food cooler, BEER cooler w/ ice and then add trailer-probably 700-1000 lbs. You're looking at something about 6500 + assuming 70 gal. gas or more.

When I’m ready to head out for a week, with everything loaded up, my '74 23cc tips the scales at around 7.3 k.

That’s loaded with fishing and diving gear, 90 gallons of fuel, 25 gallons of fresh water, suitcases, chairs, First-Up, food, plus several cases each of bottled water, Mr. Pig, beer, etc., sitting on a galvanized Float-On.

It’s really loaded down.

The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low cost.
