Hey Dave That's the info I was looking for! I was calculating a little heavier closer to 3000lbs. Thanks Rick

"Already found the answer" No or I would not be asking!! Rick

Looking at buying a Boat,Motor,Trailer package Boat in the 17' to 17'6" range with at least a 90 and preferably a 115 HP. Plus trailer and gear. What would a Rig like this weigh??? I know I can get motor weight and hull dry weight plus trailer!!from the manufacture specs. But what would the live weight,ready to go including gear and fuel, weigh in at?? Thanks Rick

Thats a GREAT Report!!! Thanks Rick

Very WERY "NICE" I like it!!!! Rick

A Pound per Fisherman, for a week, if you are doing mostly Jig and Leach fishing

Hey Jedi Right On!! I had a '94 Legend 17'8" with a 115 Mariner. The Hull was made by Smokercraft and was riveted. It was a great boat and the only issue I had, was the front livewell, that was welded, split on a run up in the Verendyre Doswere to get away from a storm. As for the OP I would go with the Opti!!! Very little noise or fuel consumption difference to the 4 Stroke and Lighter and Less $$$$. On a 20' boat you need a 150HP. Rick

Great Trip and Great report!!! Thanks for taking the time to post!!!! Rick
