[QUOTE="amk, post: 386999, member: 13232"] Its pretty light the boat is riveted mostly. Its a alumacraft 1648 sierra. I had a 20hp 4 stoke Yamaha on it originally but took out the lower unit so I decided that nonsense was for the birds. Now it has a 90 jet which is probably 100 pounds lighter anyway. the float pods on the back make the draft ridiculous. whats not shown is in that cooler on the back is two 18 wheeler batteries probably 50-60 lbs a piece two regular batteries below deck, two 6 gallon gas tanks on top and 2 six gallon tanks below which is the only reason the back is squatting the little that it is. I actually have to put weight in the boat when I run 1-2 people so its not so squirrely to drive. It'll run all day 35mph and can hit 38 in good conditions and push 40 when I run down river when its up. Its definetly turned out better than I could of imagined before it was built. [/QUOTE]
