[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 492861, member: 21536"] Mine has a hull weight of 750#. Add to that a bow mounted trolling motor, group 31 battery for the TM, starter battery, two electric down riggers & weights, 12 gallon portable tank, and all the other stuff common to a fishing boat. My Honda 50 HP four stroke comes in at 214#. I'm guessing a total of about 1,250# before adding me and any passengers. Mine is on bunks. I will add that having power trim is a huge plus. I'm the last guy you should ask about colors. Whatever you choose, a good paint job will make it pop. I purposely wanted just aluminum because I didn't want to worry about scuffs and/or keeping the finish looking good. And besides, being an old dude and kind of rough around the edges myself, I can relate to that old dull aluminum "patina" as a sign of experience, right! I have to admit I feel a little guilty when I'm around nice shiny boats, and clean it about once per year. Haha. [/QUOTE]
