Tuff Boat on Long Island

[Dirk Pitt]

cool ....you can't break things down any better then that !

i always guesstimated but was never really sure, so i had the opportunity to weigh everything, Im going to try and weigh the bare boat without the battery and helm, so i will have a pretty close weight to what this boat actually weighs naked, and then after its back together, it will be interesting to compare the 2 seperate weights and than a total weight I dont remember ever seeing anyone doing this before, Im going to set up a strap system at my dock so i will be able to weigh anyones boat if there interested in knowing what they have

Hey how did u get my xrays??

[Dirk Pitt]

so I weighed everything going back in, this is a good reference point to see how much weight is added to a running 21' SOB, the average weight added is approx. 900 lbs

300 hp 20" Etec 514 lbs
Bobs 10" Hydraulic jack plate 60 lbs
Capilani 1250 Helm 12 lbs
Marine Machine Ram & Wingplate 25 lbs
2 Front Seats @35 lbs each 70 lbs
Rear Seat 75 lbs
Optima Blue Top Battery 45 lbs
Battery Tray 2.5 lbs
6 gagues 2.0 lbs
Hot Foot 2.5 lbs
Oil Tank/ Oil/ 10' Hose 20lbs
Rear St/St lifting Rings 5lbs x 2 10lbs
Front Acorn Lifting Rings with st/st straps glassed in 4lbs
St/St bolts & nuts mounting for Motor and Bracket 4lbs
Control Cables Shifter & throttle .05 lbs
SteeringWheel & Custom hub 2 lbs
Bilge Pump .05 lbs
Rigging Wires (battery cables gagues etc.) 5lbs
Hydraulic hoses & fittings with oil @ 20' 10lbs
Fuel 30 gal.@ 6.073 per lbs 182 lbs
misc gear safety equipment ( to be legal) 10 lbs
1 Driver @ 165 lbs 165 lbs
Prop 12 lbs

Total: 1189 lbs (-) Driver1024lbs (-) fuel 842 lbs

i had to make an adjustment the back seat weighed in at 75lbs not 135lbs

[Dirk Pitt]

so my guess in total running weight no driver 30 gal of fuel hanging will be 1800lbs ish, every 100lbs is good for 1mph i should be going like 200

one thing im will say when the boat go's back together it will be totally different from when i got it, the only thing that stayed is the guages, i removed every wire hose connecters etc..... I should have done this from day one but Im thick,

[Dirk Pitt]

Hey how did u get my xrays??

What happened to just switching the plate??

[Dirk Pitt]

Im crazy thats what happened, wire cutters and me are a bad combination when i found stuff like this, I just do things differently
