Weight of a SF

[altair]

I have a 13 yr old worlds boat which I am going to weigh this weekend. The boat is in good shape but I am curious to know the weight. Does anyone know what a newer SF should weigh?

125-130 pounds

My 2005 fish (Vanguard) weighed in @ 135 lbs

Weighed the boat tonight..not sure how accurate..I turned the boat on its side and put two small pieces of wood on a scale covered with a towel and balanced the boat. It fluctuated between 125 and 128. Seems pretty good for a 13 yr old SF.

My late 60's weighs in about 135 using the balance on a bathroom scale method.

The advertising brochures from the manufacturer say 129 pounds.

That is a great weight! Sailed it much yet?

It's hard to be exact with those scales, because we lean add or reduce ?? pounds while balancing the boat. The only true way to weigh them is to calculate the volume of water displaced by the boat when you rig it and sail it, so measure your lake, put the boat in and then measure the lake level again.....

From the manufacturer brochures:
Aluminum trim boats (pre 1988) = 139 pounds
1988 and newer (rolled edge) = 129 pounds
Craigslist "Needs TLC" boats = 300 pounds (+/-) 161 pounds
