Weight of your sonics?
 

Related to the previous thread. I have a 2004 31 SS Sonic and have weighed it with full fuel, 5 gallons of water, plus gear ( tool kit, extra oil, lube, cold beer. My extras include TV/DVD, refrig, head, GPS, A/C and 2 Leggs Over Easy!

I was a bit surprised when it weighed in at $8,500 lbs? Anyone weigh their Sonic lately? I'm sure this is part of the reason besides the design why it handles so well in rough water.

I was told by Sonic our 386 is 9800lbs. I do not know if this is with a full tank of fuel or not.

From what I was told by Bruce at Sonic last year was that the 31 pre F/X boats were listed at 7000 lbs. dry but they were actually much heaver. He said the newer boats would be around that 7000 lbs. or a little lighter, You add a 1000 lbs. of fuel and 500 lbs. misc. you have 8500.

what is the weight of one gallon of fuel? 5 lbs or so?

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

I think its more like 7lbs.....I was told my 1993 31 weighs 7700lbs dry.I'll bet its more...

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

Gas is 7 pounds, 140 gallons=980 pounds. Adds up fast.

1995 35SS is 8400 pounds dry.

I was never bored enough to go the scales to weigh it loaded.
