Why not get several friends together and take the boat to the ramp and check the weight issue in the water. Just have a few guys which equal the weight of the two motors sit as far back as they can. Then have a few more jump on to see how it rides with a few people in the boat. Add one more person to account for ice and beer oh, yea and gas. This should give you a good idea of how it will sit in the water.

Speaking of beer and weight. If I drink a beer while on a boat does it lighten the load by 12oz.

Thanks Tsubaki! Hey Stillrunning, I think it depends on how often your God-given bilge pump comes on :)

Only if you go aft and "check the wake" after each one!

12 oz of beer weighs about 13.1 oz. Of course drinking it just moves the weight into your belly. Where it goes from there is not always sure. If it's hot enough I can drink lots of beers without having to bilge.
