Tuff Boat on Long Island

[dubber]

Honestly who cares. Put a motor on it and run it already.

Kind of cool to see how you get there in my book.

Pulling all the rigging, which I think you are using, would be time consuming just for a weight. I'd pull the interior and drain the gas and weigh it that way. The behind the scenes rigging/wire up must be close to perfect. My digital scale is damn accurate and we already have a bare naked hull weight of a different Tuff 21 as a comparison baseline.

[2.5-21]

So i couldnt find anyone with a good digital scale so I ordered one I love amazon, what I like, I forget I order stuff and then it shows up its like xmas, so now whats the important weight, hule only, hull with interior, hull with motor, hull with motor and fuel or all of the above? Mcknight was told 1100lbs, he just cant recall with or without interior

That answer might show more business practices of your favorite boat builder!

Dirk , It dont matter wut chu do . You aint gotz nettin fer my new whip.
Gotz a 400 lb hull . Aint been bagged , but its gotz laminer grain flow inter woven ringed fibers . Natural bonded resin , unaffected by ethanol or methanol fuels ...
And I gotz me a smokin G-3 flex fuel N.American motor ... !

Do you suppose anybody has bought a V6 mustang.... And then thought about pulling out the rear seat foam to save some lbs... To maybe knock a couple ticks of the quarter time...? Instead of you know..... Just getting the V8? I guess it would be different.

I'm going to guess that the boat will weigh 1347lbs on the scale. That is with all rigging and jackplate plus the full interior installed but no gas in the tank. 1,347 pounds. I'm also going to guess that with the BRP G1 it will end up doing 91.6mph with half tank of gas (is the tank 60 gallons?) and just driver.

I come up with the same weight as mentioned before.

Gell 100#'s
Glass 400#'s
composite core 100#'s
resin 500#'s
seats 150#'s
rub rail 25#'s
fuel tank, hose, fits 75#'s

Total 1,350 #'s This will vary, and is a general est

Two votes are in for 1,350 lbs. Should be interesting at the weigh in.

What i meant is if he does the rigging, not his guys. I personally have not had him do any work for me, a few close friends and brother inlaw have and have had bad experiences which has kept me away.

i am not doubting that I tell it like it is, I have heard it all over the years thats why he is were he is and thats the truth!

your a funny guy hahahahahahahahahaha

I would think the important weight would be fully rigged ready to make a pass. This is the running weight of the boat and your baseline to start the diet if needed

mickey I totally agree, thats the only weight that really counts, but I going to try and weigh in the state thats its in, ie rigged ready for a motor, and tha no feul ready to run

[Dirk Pitt]

Unrigged and then fully rigged

thats what im going to do, but I cant get a true unrigged weight obviously because its really ready for a motor, but close enough, if i want I could make a list of all the components that are in the boat and extrapolate a real bare hull number

you really think it weighs that much? ok lets see how close, dont forget theres alot of stuff in the boat, setback footpeddle, gauges, etc, and (foam)
