Default Wellcraft-24'-how much does it weigh?

you can weigh the boat with a bathroom scale and a beam.
place the beam under the boat's centre of gravity and use a block of wood
as a fulcrum and the beam as a lever. do a rough calculation before hand
with a weight larger than any reasonable weight for the boat to get an
intial placement for the fulcrum. This is how TF Jones weigths the boats
he builds. good luck.

I am trying to help a friend find out how much a 1980's wellcraft 24' with
outboard engine weighs. She want to put it on davits at her new home but does
not know the weight. Her husband passed away recently and she is good with the
boat, but does not know where this info is.
The threshold seems to be under 6,000lbs or over. As that is what the davits
are thought to hold. Any help on the number or where to find it.
