Unless I'm thinking wrong, that's not even the "true weight" as it's still hooked to the truck, right?

Call Gail Griffin or Tony Vick at Fountain Powerboats with your Hull number. They should be able to produce the weight when it was first manufactured. Published weight is always a little light....I am going to say around 14-15,000 lbs with a light load of fuel......If we can assist you with service or customization please call 252.561.6070 and check us out on facebook at Real Fast Marine......our website is under development.

The boat should weigh around 14.5K without trailer.
