I need accurate weight of my 41c

[krush]

I need an accurate weight of a 41c. My boat is 1968, repowered with cummins 8.3 but otherwise nothing major that would add weight.

Can members here please help me come up with a fair estimate of weight from ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS of their boat? Any 41 model of that vintage should be close enough.

My guess is my boat is in the 28-34,000lb range...but I have no data to go on. The marina has an old lift with no ability to measure weight. The boat was trucked, but the goofballs didn't get the weight for me when they crossed the scales.

I'm pondering putting a lift for my boat, and for that I need an approximate weight (within 5k would be fine). I think 30k lift would be borderline, but 40k would be fine.

Thank you great HOF!

I spent months, years ago, trying to figure out what Blue Note weighed, having to do with repowering her. It is really difficult to find out what a boat weighs; there aren't a lot of accurate scales around for such a large object, and Travelift load cells tend not to agree, I'm told. When you figure this out, please let us all know. I never did solve the problem.

Hatteras might (meaning Sam's, actually) have old data on what your model weighed when new, and you could get info from boatdiesel.com about the different weight of the engines, to try and derive the actual present weight.

Have the travel lift put it in the pool and measure how much the water rises. The weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the boat..... Seriously, Hatteras should know from the line drawings what the displacement is, and thus the weight. Or you can try and measure/estimate the volume below the water line.

That might help a little.

Maybe for the rear sling weight.

Its over 30k dry. 35k loaded full fuel water and gear.
