Weight of boat
 
this may sound like a stupid question, but i can't locate the info on the
boat. I have a 1994 2130SS Chaparral, I'm looking for the weight of the
boat. Any suggestions on where to get the information?

I'm thinking that calling the company would be a pretty high-tech method of
finding the weight.

BUC International Corp publishes an annual book series called "The BUC
Used Boat Price Guide". Most boat dealers subscribe and have a copy of the
series. It lists just about every boat ever built, options, engine sizes
and the boat weight.

I'd visit a local boat dealer and ask if he could look it up for you. I am
not a dealer, but I used to have a copy of the series several years ago, but
who knows where it is now.

oel,
I am surprised they were not helpful, Chaparral is a decent company,
who would have been able to look up the info fairly quickly. I hope
that is not indicative of their customer service.

Them: We don't have that information.

You: Of course you do. I'll need to speak to your boss, please.

They absolutely, positively have the information. End of discussion.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
