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.

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.

Most all boat weight specs say not including engine. May include outdrive,
but the power can very so much on the same boat, I do not see how they can
include engine.
