So the boat finally got weighed.
Boat and trailer, less tongue weight = 3950kg, or 8710lbs
tongue weight on truck 900lbs
trailer weight 2200lbs
net semi-wet (fuel, but no water) boat weight = 7410lbs With 100gal of diesel on board (700lbs).
Made it to Port Edward -Porpoise Harbour (near Prince Rupert) My buddies 1ton diesel did the towing, but the boat and trailer is less than the 10,100lb capacity of my truck. 1/2 ton truck towable! if only just.....
No, the top tackle isn't mine, it belongs to the boat behind.....
Travel-lift. My wife wants to learn how to drive it.
Yes, Virginia, boats can fly. :lol:
Oooh boy, water gonna get me wet!
Splashdown! Tranquility base. The Farrell has landed.
At the loading dock. Rear weight bias evident. I built "level" to the old water line, but the boat is stern heavy (this was deliberate). Trim would change with less fuel, and a finished interior.
Proud, but shy, boat builder/owner.
