A 2003 with base engine weighs 1956 pounds.

There's only so much you can do to a 17' boat, so it would be surprising to
discover that there was an enormous difference from year to year.

Trying to figure out if your car, truck, etc, can tow it?

Be sure to add the weight of the trailer,
fuel, gear, options, etc etc etc.

Amen!
My 1998 19' Bayliner Bowrider weighs just about 2000 pounds, according to
the brochure.
I added a wakeboard tower and carry extra gear when on Coast Guard Auxiliary
Patrols. With a full tank of gas it weighs 3000 pounds.

Didn"t older boats have deeper v's and more wood, making them heavier. My guess
is that a 1990 boat weights more, perhaps much more than a current model boat

I'm not sure that fiberglass weighs less than wood. You might want to rethink
your guess. Hulls are often cored with light weight woods to reduce the weight
below what the boat would weigh if solid rove and resin.

As for the deep V issue, a difference in several degrees in the angle between
the
keel and the chine won't add or subtract a vast quantity of material from the
hull. We're dealing with a hollow, not solid shape.

But yeah, there's no reason to conclude the weight will be *exactly* the same.
Maybe within 10-15% either way, though.

=================================================

Typical boat building woods weigh about 40 to 45 pounds per cubic
foot. Fiberglass laminate (FRP) weighs almost 90 pounds per cubic
foot.

They didn't make a 17' according to NADA (that year).

But a 18' weights 1900lbs (dry weight w/o trailer) according to them
