[OTTERLY COOL]

Hi - I had a 1975 18 footer and it weighed around 15-1600 Lbs dry - no fuel and no engine. If my recollection is correct, the 23 CC that year weighed 3100 lbs dry. Seacraft in those days didn't "carry" as much capacity as other boats their size because they had so much glass in them and a boat can only displace so much (pounds of) water. The more glass, the less capacity to carry because hull weight plus the capacity equals the amount of displacement.

I have a 1974 23 CC (I/O) now and I am going to have it rebuilt by Metan Restorations in Mass. All I can tell you is it had to delivered to my house on an oversize trailer and I was told that with the engine and outdrive it was around 5000 lbs.

Hope that helps.
