A friend was thinking about buying a new Outback, but was concerned about the weight. I was shocked to see it listed fitted weight at 85lbs.

Mine is older (2013 or something) but I'm almost positive it doesn't weigh anything like that, not counting the drive. Did something change? thx

There are fitted (hull only) and rigged weights (with seat and drive etc)

FITTED HULL WEIGHT: 85 LBS / 38.56 KG
FULLY RIGGED WEIGHT: 103 LBS / 46.72 KG

These are pretty much correct. There is a lot of gear mounted on this boat.
