What is the minimum weight of a SST120 boat? Is this weight with or without driver and fuel?

The specs show the weight at 1075. I am pretty sure that this was raised to 1100 last year. Gordie JR or one of the 120 guys could verify this.

Not sure how old of a post this is but a few years back they raised the weights. They said it had to do with safety reasons...
My Formula 150 with me in it with no weight is 985 lbs. I have to add 70 lbs in that class.
In SST 120 I have to add 75 lbs of lead then I have to have extra fuel to make weight.

If your an overweight driver, 120's you can still run and hit the minimum weight. But at the end of the day the fast guys are still fast if the weights 1050, 1075, or 1100.

Just makes the boats handle worse...
