what would yall say an all 3/16 1748 will weigh, pointed bow sport deck rigged? I need the 3/16 for the bad stumps where i hunt but dont want a heavy ass boat that takes half a mile to get on step.. will be pushed by stage 1 36 pd.

450+/-

figured it would be more than that... just curious if it will be a 30 mph boat.

Added up the rough shipping weight on the metal and it comes out to 550ish. I don't think your gonna run 30 with a stage 1 on that hull.

yea probably gonna end up dropping a cam in there.. what alls done to your motor?

The one in the sig got parted out and bought a crate motor. As of now I have a stock motor with a gutted exhaust and carb. I run 28-29 empty on a custom 18x48 with 22" sides,.125 bottom. The motor in the sig had setx heads, rr,push rods, bps cam, .020 pistons and rods, carb and gutted exhaust. It would sheer the case bolts everytime I got in the canes.

My rig total weight is 1,380 pounds. Boat, motor, trolling motor, two batteries and 16 gallons of fuel. There is a link to the weight thread in my review thread on my signature.

If you had two boats built identical, one with 1/8 bottom and one with 3/16, you would barely tell a difference.

Just don't go outrageous with boxes and unnecessary bullshit and you'll be okay.
So what if it is a 29 mph boat and not a 30 mph boat? The way I see it if you don't get a 3/16 bottom it'll be hooked to shit and slower than a 3/16 hull anyway

I'm gonna stick with 3/16

Wonlt have a ton of shit in it, just 8 in catwalks and driver box. Rest wide open.

I think it will run 30. Mine would run 31 with 1/8 sides, deep water.

My 3/16 bottom 1/8 side stage one gtr ran 31 too in deep

yea im sure it will be fine, ive just got a friend that has a 1751 excel f4 with a 4500 mud buddy on it and it only runs 28 with nothing in the boat but 2 people and gas and takes about 100 yards to plane and its only .125 just dont want a boat thats slow to get on plane

I ran 29 with 2 ppl and fuel but didn't take that long to get on pad

yea it should be fine, high 20s is good with me.. if my motor doesnt have quite enough ass i can just drop a cam in it maybe get a little more out of it.

From Aluminum ans Stanless, INC:

5086:

4 x 8 x 3/16 = 84
4 x 12 x 3/16 = 126
4 x 20 x 3/16 = 210

Go to their website. They have the weight of everything. At one point, I knew to within about 10 lbs without weighing it what my hull weighed when building it.

Appreciate that, I'll check it out and be able to get a pretty close guess.
