42 PR, GTX, Gladiator weight?
 
Has anyone weighed any of these boats or have a very good idea? I’ll have a 9k lb lift open.

Don't know on the GTX or Glad but the fountain is plain old fiberglass. Counter to popular belief fountains are not light, I have had friends put 35 EX's on a scale and they are right around 9K. I know the PR is a different animal but no way would I think a 9K lift would work. Most of the companies recommend a 25% margin.

Which model gtx? 37,39,42,44,45 or 47? Vinylester or epoxy?
A 39 gtx is a bigger boat than a 42 poker run.

I knew fountains generally weren’t super light, but the 42 doesn’t have a cabin at least.

Currently on the lift is a 35cc based on the 36 cig wide body. All glass or foam cored, head, twin 4s OBs.

I figured there must be a twin engine sit down no bull**** hot rod out there that weighs less.

Yeah, usually a quick cable change takes it to up over 12K+
