Author	Topic:   13-footer Weight
gr8wood	posted 10-07-2012 03:55 PM ET (US)         [What is] the dry weight of a classic 13-foot Boston Whaler boat? I found a real bargin on a bare hull that needs some glass work. I want to make sure my trailer will be able to carry the boat home. Thanks!

gr8wood	posted 10-07-2012 05:04 PM ET (US)             Thanks Pete. I think she is dry. The [laminate] is gone on the port stern quarter and foam is exposed. It has been stored with the bow up. [I hope] water has drained from it. The yard speared the port side amidship with the fork lift, so there is a nice hole in the side--a little bit of foam and glass and good as new. I traded a 14-foot 1963 aluminum Sea King for it. The Sea King came with a camp I bought years ago, so basicly this hull is costing me nothing--a good winter project.
