Im talking towable boat

Boat weight + fuel + Trailer + Gear

Rough weights as close as you can figure.

Mine 1990 280 Baja loaded with fuel and gear on trailer
Im tipping the scales in and around 10 thousand pounds

What weight do you have?

Our 1997 Baja 272 shows 4350 lbs as dry weight, I also believe that was with a small block. Trailer and all I have to believe towed weight is about 6,500 lbs.

Need to get to a scale someday just out of curiosity.

Just a guess
a 29 outlaw loaded to the gills with twins and fuel topped off on 3 axle probably in and around 9000-9500 with gear!!!
My boat dry weight is 7300
6 lbs per gallon of fuel I think is what gas weighs
200 gallons
1200 lbs
trailer triple axle steel with full size spare 36 feet long, about 1800-2000 lbs
plus lines, soda's and food, bumpers, life vests, first aid kit, flares, water blah blah blah
starts to add up quick
extra props, TOOLS
jumper cables ect
man I might even be over 10 K lbs

Hey Tink
Be thankful you dont have one of the older early,mid 34 Scarab III's
I heard they were MUCH heavier than the newer ones, excels and stuff
I think if my memory serves me right
dry the mid 80's scarab III was ballparked around 11500-12000 dry weight?
that sound right?
bet ride was more comfortable than any other boat out there but man a 1 ton with that thing on the back full with fuel and stuff must have hurt!

13000 for a 38 TG?
whoa that is light

Was talking with Ike, (reason I posted this thread)
He said to me fully loaded on trailer with full fuel, his 41 apache is tipping the scales at 17000 lbs
so if a 38 TG is 13000 loaded, that is really REALLY light!
His 50 foot Myco tri axle trailer with drive guard is about 3500 lbs or so.
Heavy ride!

Gee, I feel out classed.
Mine with trailer only weighs around 5000. But then mine is only 21'.
3200 for the boat, 1000+/- for the trailer and fuel (45gal), cooler, etc.

28 Pantera single engine.
5200# dry, +1000# for fuel & misc gear + aluminum trailer 1200#?? = Total around 7400#
Griff, that's a really good looking boat. Karen and I love the looks of Pantera's and Jo really builds a great boat. There are a few locally and we always love to see them in the water...
