Re: How much does floatation weigh? Average hull - 500 lbs and average motor - 300 lbs - 3 guys and gear 1000 lbs
So you need to displace 2000 to 2500 lbs of water @ 8 lbs to a gallon = 300 gallons Answer --- A Lot ! ! ! Weight of good floatation under 50lbs when in good condition ! ! ! But if you buy a USCG approved hull from a reputable manufacturer - it will be there ! ! ! viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61746 Interesting read ! _________________ Eat - Sleep - Hunt ! ! !

Re: How much does floatation weigh? A very rough estimate comes in at about 21 cubic feet of foam floatation in my 2066, that is USCG rated. The floatation consists of layers of pink foam boards. The stuff weighs next to nothing, but it takes up some real-estate.

Re: How much does floatation weigh? easy brother, I said it was a very rough estimate. I didn't break out a tape.
