mmiller has stated the range is 67 to 72 pounds We hope you got a light one!

I weighed one brand new boat at the 2008 16 NAC's that was like a pound or two over minimum (doh!) but, all in all the weights are VERY consistant. Of all the new, or newer (post 2000) boats, the weights were within +/- 2%

Heavier. Those are probably from the days when the minimum boat weight was 340 lbs. (1971 - 1983, early '90s)

I've seen much, much heavier.

I am pretty sure there were a couple that weighed in almost 8-10 lbs under weight.Hard to imagine that would all be lost hull weight.
