Hi Everyone - I was curious to know what my 2000 340 weighed with 7.4mpi's and V drive configuration, 4 batteries and 3 cylinder 5.0KW Westerbeke gen set. I took the boat to a certified scale and weighed it - it came in at 17980 lbs on the trailer. I had weighed the trailer previously at 2320 lbs. No canvas, sheets, curtains, dishes
So the weight was 15560 lbs which I was a little surprised it was that heavy so I started factoring what could make up the added weight to the posted dry weight of 13000.
I wonder if the gen set and batteries are not considered for the boat in the posted dry weight?
Dry weight 13000 lbs
2 Full tanks of fuel 220 x 6lbs = 1320 lbs
Water tank 40gals x 8.34lbs = 333.6 lbs
Waste tank ~2 gals x 8.34lbs = 16.7 lbs (almost empty)
Engine oil 2 gallons x 7.74 x 2 = 15.5 lbs
Batteries 4 x 70lbs = 280 lbs
Water in Engines, manifolds, hoses strainer ~ 6 gal x2 x 6lbs = 72 lbs
Westerbeke 5KW Gen 343 lbs
Water in Gen, lines and strainer 1 gal x 8.34lbs 8.3 lbs
Total 15389.1 lbs ~170.9 lbs difference
Im wondering does this look reasonable to assume what I listed to the additions to dry weight?
