1806 - 484 = 1322
-114(fuel)
= 1208

Much heavier than I had guessed, but I am very happy with it and how it handles so its all good :)

Wow. 950lbs without the motor? I hope mine comes in a bit lighter or I'll be scraping bottom most days, lol.

So my 1200 guess was the winner? What do I get? :lol: :lol:

Whatever it is, I'll take what's behind curtain number 3 instead.

Yes it is.... so, can we figure out where the 600# came from? I suspect its not that uncomon and perhaps I can help the next guy have more realistic expectations and perhaps raise their sole an inch or so back in the planning stages.

Battery
Gunwales (I made them pretty stout after reading about someones adventures in their gunwale splice delaminating most of the top plate of my gunwales are doubled up as I wanted to double up everywhere there was cupholders and rod holders etc...)
Consoles
Helm and remote rigging, battery cables, etc....
Water filter and bracket assembly
Hardware
3 foam kits
The additional reverse chines, strakes and associated glass
Glass all the way up the sides
Added compartments and doublers for hatches

It adds up faster than you realize.
315# is the bare hull no gunwales just rubrail and setup for tiller steering
I still didn't expect it to be 600# heavier though, I expected about 300 more..... but It is still a great boat and can still haul a huge load
