Yeah, buy an old Suburban or Chevy station-wagon...keep all your fishin' stuff in it full time...I agree w/the guys...usin' that van's gonna be trouble sooner or later ;)...

Plus, even if all else DOES work, the arse-end of that van will be a rusted mess in short order, puttin' in/out of saltwater... ::)...

I used to borrow a truck in the Spring & Fall for transport and docked at a slip 10 miles from home.
Chances are you will use the boat more if its in the water. As for the van, I agree with the others that it's a bit light to handle that boat, both in stopping and at the ramp. Sooner or later, you will have trouble.
Good luck.

Re: WHATS IT REALLY WEIGH?
 

Along this same thread of question, I too, am curious about how much my newly purchased V20 weighs. I found the specs on it from the Wellcraft site. It's an 88 Sport Fish with a sea drive. Here's what I don't understand. It reads like this:

Weight..........1,920 (O/B)
2,500
(Sea Drive)

Does that mean the boat weighs 2,500# including the Sea Drive? Or does it mean the Sea Drive is 2500# in addition to the 1,920#?

Re: WHATS IT REALLY WEIGH?
 

2500 lbs including the Sea Drive

Re: WHATS IT REALLY WEIGH?
 

Thanks Seacrets, that's what I thought. I had a very hard time believing the Sea Drive could weigh that much. It seems that would be ridiculous to have that much weight back there in addition to the thrust.

The reason I asked at all was because I came across another 88 V20 for sale with a Sea Drive(http://www.gigharborbay.com/www.gigh...y.com/www/777/ for $8k) and the owner told me that it was the other way around.

Anyway, thanks again.
