bonita dan (12/22/2007)They usually consider a dry weight of just the hull package without liquid(fuel,oil,water if so equipped) Motors are included in the dry weight and change between each application upon the build.
I may be WRONG which would not be a 1st BUT......... I really think it DEPENDS ON THE MANUFACTOR....... I'm pretty sure Wellcraft does not count the weight of the motor when they say DRY WEIGHT.
You will have to look on the companies WEBSITE or call them to be sure.
Again, probably wrong but I thought Wellcraft CONSIDERS gas and oil and all that in the DRY WEIGHT but not the MOTORS and equipment, when most others don't but count the lowest HP engine. WHO KNOWS.???????????????
Forgot to ADD. If you have an INBOARD then the DRY WEIGHT, I think, IS always included. Outboards is a different animal.
Reason being is they will always equip it with the least amount of HP but of course if you add bigger engines then the weight goes up. That's why with most boats with OB engines are WITHOUT ENGINES.
I just know what mine weighs with 2 engines, a full load of gas, freshwater, sewage, Tackle, anchor, chain,rode,safety equipment,100 lbs ofusless crap,bait, food, generator, 5 gal. of gas for the GEN., a lot of beer and 4 FAT ARSE FISHERMAN on it............. around 9K pushing 10K. LOL................
DRY WEIGHT MIGHT SAY 4600LBS though. :doh
