Does not include engine from what I understand. I have a 6000# capacity
tandem trailer and it weighs 1100#, and the outdrive motor is probably in
the 700# minimum range.

news I mentioned I got a 22' crestliner this year. I need something to haul
it
with ( my Chevy Caviler is NOT gonna do it).

I've tried researching on the net, but Crestliner seems to no longer
make
cruisers (the boat I got is an 81)

How do I find the weight, and can someone suggest a reasonably good
tow
vehicle, that will also serve for daily use around town. Given the
price
of gas, millage will be a consideration. I like the looks of the
Buick
Rendezvous, but is the towing capacity sufficient?

Head over to the library research area and get a copy of BUC for 1981
boats.
The information should be listed there under the Crestliner boat
section.

If not try http://www.buc.com/


Quick question about their info. BUC's website shows my 19' Sea-Pro
cuddy at 1,600 lbs. That seems way low. I realize it would not include
gas or gear, but do their numbers include the engine ? (i have a small
4 cly. I/O) and out-drive? I have estimated my boat with trailer, etc.
at around 3,500 lbs. From the listed weight of 1,600 to estimated
3,500 would require a LOT of trailer and gas but could be realistic if
you have to add the weight of the engine and drive.

I would have though it would include the engine and outdrive, but perhaps
Bill knows better.
