He says that thing only weighs 4100 pounds, seems a little light whataya think? I ask because I am limited in towing at 5K and never thought I would get a 25' boat behind me.

add the trailer engines and fuel and gear then you will be way over 5000lbs. and if a 25 footer is that light esp. with a w/a then it will bounce all over the waves.

I have a 23 footer at 3000# dry weight, add motor 110 gal gas and everything else with trailer I am over 5000 easy.
From what I could see he is a 4000# Dry hull so add twin motors 110 gas and all the stuff + trailer you over 6000#

But its a nice boat for the cash!!

I don't know about the 25', My 23 sticks to the water like a fly to a glue strip!

im sure it does. but that weight for a whole rig sounds very light. that 25 should at least be 4000-5000 lbs, just the hull. it sounded like he meant 4100. with engines and fuel and trailer. with those calc;s the hull would come out to be too light.

that is a very sweet rig for a good price, if those motors are low hour and tight and I did not have my V I would be traveling

[THEFERMANATOR]

He claims 4,100 with bracket, still sounds a little light as that would put the dry hull close to 3900-3950. If you figure 4,100 + 750 for the engines, add in another 700-900 pounds of rigging and such in the hull, 150 gallons of fuel at roughly 8 pounds a gallon your at a conservative 6850 or so. Add in another 1000 pounds for the trailer and figure a handful of gear and your at an easy 8000 pounds +. It's all the add ons that rack up the weight in a hurry in a boat. Still that is a D@MN fine boat for the money, and looks to have good reliable power for it as well.

Approximately what year is the hull? Can you tell from looking?

[macojoe]

1988 was the first year for the 25 footer.

I am sure they are plenty heavy, These boats are solid!! 4K for the hull then adding fuel, motors, hard top, and gear you are close to 7K in the water.

I have heard that the older ones like mine were much heavier then the later models made by May Craft??

That boat also has a bit sharper entry then mine and 18* dead rise, I have a 20* dead rise on the 23, not sure on my entry.

we put my Wellcraft 250 on the scale with an aluminum trailer and the twin 225's on a bracket. no fuel, water, nor black water. it weighed in at 8900 lbs. but the Sea Ray 250 with the 310 hp I/O and steel trailer weighed in at 7200 lbs

And to think, I towed both of them boats with a JEEP CHEROKEE:party:.

that boat is stored at the IOP Marina, not one of the cheaper places to keep a boat, he's probably getting eat up with storage on it
