Has anyone ever weighed their fountain? It seems hard to believe a new 35 lightening is 9,500lbs, a 42 11,400lbs, when boats like a 37 AT is 9,800lbs, and a 427 Nor-tech (42’7”) is 10,500lbs.

At least that’s what the web sites say, who’s stretching the truth here?

Fountain would have zero to gain in over estimating weight, SO I would say the others. However are the others including the motors????? Kind of makes you think being that the Fountains are faster also???

My 1996 32' SFC weighs 9500 # with half full tanks (120gal) and some junk in the cabin. That also includes the fixed top and higher gunnals towards the dash area.

2001 35' Lightning on alum. trailer 11,120lbs with 3/4 fuel.
trailer shipping weight was 2000lbs

I saw photos on the club website, that is a beautiful boat... 11K? I bet your truck misses the 27.

Executioner style or twin step?

How are Fountains laid up that makes them so much heaver then boats the same size?

It would be interesting to see the weights of two identically built boats from any manufacturer. Imagine there could be a significant difference if the hull is a conventional layup.

Mine was 15,850lbs on a Myco aluminum trailer with two spares, tool box, drive guard, full tanks of fuel, coolers, supplies, etc.

Since the 32 SFC is listed to weigh 8500 lbs empty, sounds like at least that weight is accurate: 120 gals + some gear is pretty much 1000 lbs.
