"NEW" to you, right? And what year is it? I'm almost afraid to weigh my '82, built like tanks you know and solid as a rock, probably weighs comensurate as well.

What is an acceptable weight for a 14 (non-turbo) and what is the best method for weighing the boat? Thanks! |

Anything close to the class minimum of 240lbs would be preferred. You can weigh the boat with two bathroom scales, one under each hull and add the total. Find a smooth flat surface and protected from the wind. Don't forget to include all of the rigging and required equipment. |

I agree with you on the "preferred" close to minimum weight, but...I've been hearing those are very rare boats and an "acceptable" weight may be closer to 255-265. (I haven't weighed ours yet). What do you think John? What does your weigh? |

What is a good weight for each hull on its own? |

That would be a good question for mmiller to answer. |

My OLD boat (this white one) was a 1972. My new one, with the white hulls and blue decks is much newer. 1973. I was 7 when this boat first hit the water (and I am old now......) but its hard and straight and it cost $250. Whattayado? |
