How much does a 50 ft boat weight. Yes a boats tow weight is different from its maximum loadcapacity weight. When considering the weight of fuel you can expect on average a full tank of gas to add 47 pounds 21 kg. Its a number that the boats manufacturer will determine based on several factors including the hull volume and dimension the weight of the engine and if an outboard how is it mounted.

The average Jon boat weighs about 500 pounds. Gross Trailer Weight GTW. You can power this boat with between 99 HP and 50 HP.

In order to weigh a boat it is necessary to haul with a travel lift to place the boat on a scale on hard ground. The neighor and I easily lifted the Johnson 50hp on my StarCraft off and on when I redid the transom board. Some will weigh as little as 130 pounds 59kg in total for the 10 foot lengths while 20 foot boats will weigh upwards of 1200 pounds 544kg or more.

You can try looking here NADA for a dry weight. With a 50 HP Mercury outboard. For P-W-Cs always follow the recommended capacity in the owners manual and on the manufacturer.

Tandem-axle boat trailers usually weigh up to around 1000 lbs. You have a 15 ft long 4 ft wide Jon boat. If you go with a smaller outboard the dry weight would be less.

This estimate is dry hull weight. To a large extent the weight of a Jon boat depends on its size with its construction material also playing a key role. To find the weight go through the following steps.
