Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:29 pm
I have just purchased my first Boston Whaler boat, a 1970 SPORT 13. This hull has several breaches of the laminate. I want to [deduce the weight of retained water in the hull] before I start restoration.
Q1: how much should a 1970 SPORT 13 weight?
Here are [weights at two configurations]:
Bare hull with all wood, steering gear, and railings removed, but with the lifting eyes at the stern and bow in place: 295-lbs.
Add the wood interior to the hull, including the anchor locker cover, two seats, the steering console and steering gear, the seat risers, and add the railings: 379.4-lbs
Q2: does this 1970 SPORT 13 hull have retained water?
