Actual weight of an F32?

Post by DAVIDLOFLAND »

Has anyone actually weighed a fully outfitted F32? I running 350 Mercruiser Chevy's, 180 gallons gasoline, swim deck, plus all the other crap that ends up on the boat, and I'm guessing to be about 16,000 pounds. Does that sound like a reasonable guess?

I asked when ours was hauled out this fall. Not sure of the accuracy though as I was a given a 1,000 lb range! Travel lift operator said between 17-18K. 220 gallons of fuel, no water. Merc 230's, Generator, two remote ac units. some gear aboard. Again not sure of the accuracy here.

I suspect that's high .dry weight is suppose to be 12000, My F36 dry weight is listed at, 16000 , When doing calculations I find 18000 seems to work . so maybe 14000 ?

That sounds very reasonable. 12,000#$ + Gen, 2 A/C's, 220 gal fuel, furniture, etc. etc. etc. could quickly add to 17-18k.

Me, with no gen, a/c's, and less fuel could easy be around 16k#.

p.s. I forgot to add all the water soaked in to the cores.
