Weight of 1989 27fc

Postby Mario » Sun Aug 28, 2016 11:04 am

Does anyone know the weight of a 1989 27 FC with a pair of Yamaha 250s. Boat does have a whaler drive.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Welcome -

If you look in the Reference section you can scroll down to see the specifications for the 27 FC WD.

Some have these and trailer them. I don't, but have taken multiple measurements of my Outrage 25 with twins and bracket. There is a lot going from dry published weights to loaded outfitted wet weights.

You would want at least a 10,000 lb gvwr trailer (which ends up being about 8,000 lb capacity after you remove the trailer weight). It is also possible you might want to go slightly higher, like a 12,000 or so gvwr trailer.

That is Russel, I think I'll be going to a 16 thousand pond trailer which I found at a good price.
