hello

i am totally refitting a 28' Hatteras repowering with Volvo Penta computerized Diesels. Is there a boat weight published anywhere or does anybody know what the weight of the boat was? i have seen 8500 lbs as well as 12000 lbs. i have removed the hard top that must weigh 800 lbs and cracked the windows as well as removed the heavy gas engines out and install soft top and lighter vpa d3 diesels in. trying to do a prop calculation and and speed projection. also considering a trailer to go to some larger lakes etc. no remaining tip clearance with a 16 dia prop. having fun doing another hatt. anybody know the weight???????????????

thanks,

pat
