Weighing the trailer with and without the boat should give a value
around 90% of the boat's weight. 10% should bear on the hitch.

Is it on a trailer? Take the whole thing to a nearby weigh scale, then
remove the boat (launch it), and weigh the trailer alone. Your calculator
will reveal the correct answer.

Glad to help.

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.
