I have a Cafe Brochure somewhere that says 9600 dry. That is obviously without swim platform, strainers, external steering, superchargers (if applicable), anchors, lines, liquor, etc.......
I think you'd be hard pressed to put one on a scale that wasn't 10k even with the fuel tanks drained.

I think icdedppl weighed his flatdeck. Iron headed supercharged big blocks, stand off boxes, speedmasters, fully rigged, air conditoner, fuel and gear, on a box tube steel triple axle trailer with drive guard, and was around 15-16k lbs with the trailer.
My c channel steel myco without drive guard, weighs around 2700lbs. Id imagine a full box tube steel with drive guard has to be in the area of 3500lbs.
Heavy boats !

I've heard reciently that in a strait bottom TG, Kevlar vs Fiberglass layup is +/- 1000lbs..
Although I did read the Kevlar was only used in the engine compartment which I doubt but you know how the internet is..

I loved yours... that was the nicest Mistress and tastefully done, mine is nice but to me yours was flawless...
That's one of those boats.....like my Mistress was, once you sell it, you'll be missing it like hell. Impossible to duplicate, a classic machine, not many left that are tastefully done and updated. you need a passion for offshore boats to get into one of these flatdecks and mistresses. Kind of wish I kept mine, even if I just used it once in a while. For what I put into it, blood , sweat and tears. Perfect riding balanced boat. Oh and I put a ton of $$$$$$$$$$$$ into it too.....lol
