Q1: is a weight of a 1968 NAUSET 16 of 1,722-lbs including 250-lbs for Yamaha F50 engine, Bimini top, full fuel tank and gear, without stern seating, and as measured by a "drystack" a reasonable weight or a cause for concern?
BACKSTORY
I recently purchased a 1968 NAUSET 16 from an out-of-state seller. I’m now transporting it to my home state via a third party service.
I was surprised to learn the listed weight of the vessel is 1,722 pounds. Upon receipt of the boat, I plan to weigh it myself.

Re: 1968 NAUSET 16 Total Boat Weight
A rough estimate of the weight of a NAUSET 16 might be as follows:
Q2: Is a trailer included in the "listed" weight?
A trailer would easily add 500-lbs to the total load weight of a boat being transported, so the total weight would be 1,770-lbs, or quite close to the figure you have been given.
- 600-lbs bare hull
- 200-lbs wood interior components and rigging
- 250-lbs engine
- 120-lbs fuel on board
- 100-lbs gear on board
