A little out of hand?

Yikes! I just finished packing away all the stuff on the list for the off season. Whaddya think? Excessive? I'm thinking of weighing it all and taking the boat out for a quick spin just to feel the difference. Any guesses as to how much it weighs in at. - Jeff:rolleyes:

I think you need a bigger boat :rolleyes: :D

i'm sure the mrs. would just find more stuff to put into it; damn glad that i'm not that worried about top end speed any more; seems like i'm lucky it even gets on plane

Wow. That's got to be worth at least a couple mph.

Those are in case the manual bilge pumps fail... tie em to the cleats and keep the boat afloat while using the paddle and the flare guns.:p

that's exactly how I have it figured, jayboat:D

Yeah, I'd say it was a little......excessive.
Looks more like your emptying and apartment than a boat.

I learned a long time ago to just bring the bare essentials. And we only pack what we need, when we go out. Very little is left behind at the end of the day. We unload just about everything when we're done. Some small things like paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, can/bottle cozies, and PFD's stay behind. And since my boat can only carry 7 persons, we have 9 PFD's. 7 adult, one child and one infant.

I have never seen someone with a dresser in a boat. That may be a little much.

2 wicker baskets of cosmetics, perfume, lotions etc.:eek::drink:

I hope you have a wife/girlfriend

It's just a guess, but I'd say 510 lbs. :rolleyes:

Let us know when you get it all off the scale.
