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.

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

7280 lbs.

1999 26' Prowler
HP500EFI
FULL of all my gear, anchor, tools, full cover, full of fuel, on aluminum trailer, at the local recycling plant.

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.

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

1995 35SS is 8400 pounds dry.

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

Lapseofreason,
Was the 14,700 the boat or boat and trailer.

Off the trailer on new travel lift.

The weight of gas varies depending on temp. The weight of 1 gal of gas at 72 degrees F is around 6.25 lbs. per gallon. Cooler temp = more dense gas = more wt. Higher temp. = less dense = less wt. So I guess the solution is to live in South where the weather is hotter thus less wt. for full tanks!!

2004 Sonic Prowler F/X : 15 gal of gas, no water, no gear, and no stereo setting on a 26' Myco trailer. **6740lb.

Anyone have a idea of what the trailer might weigh???

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

anyone know what a 1989 30ss would be thank you

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

Close to mine ay 7500lbs I would guess...

Re: Weight of your sonics?
 

I've just learned that the weight increases proportionatly to the increase in road grade when towing up hill!!!!

I also learned that the weight of fuel decreases proportionatly to the increase in fuel prices.

Findings... To counteract these affects, I need to buy a dock and a sailboat!

NOT!
