So I'm getting a sharrow propeller for my 27 outboard. Could you please tell me the loaded weight of my boat? It is a 2020. Sharrow needs this information to size my propeller correctly.

On a trailer at a weigh station would be best.

RT lists the boat at 7700 lbs.
+ 150 gallons of gas @ 6lbs/gallon
+ 40 gallons of water at @8lbs/gallon

That puts it around 9,000 lbs, plus passengers and gear.
 
Yes I know what's in the specs, but what I don't know is the real weight. How does ranger measure it? Is it under loaded conditions, or is it the theoretical weight they did a long time ago? I was hoping somebody had been hauled out and could give me an indication of what the weight is under real world conditions.
 
It varies by the amount of stuff you carry on your boat. Submariner has it right, the specs are the specs anymore added or subtracted from the overall weight depends on the personal stuff you add or subtract from that. The only way to determine exacts is by putting it on a scale,, fully loaded for travel, ( truck stop, etc.), then deduct the trailer weight, ( Make sure to disconnect it from the tow vehicle.)
I use to determine the overall weight of my 34 Cruisers by watching how much "stuff" the Admiral brought for the week. Boat goes down 2"'s= x lbs, boat goes 4"'s= xx lbs, etc.
If you need information on how the factory measures weight I'd contact them directly, they have the best people in the business..

I had a R-27 inboard. All in the weight was 9,900 pounds. There is a direct correlation between boat weight and how long you own it. :lol:
 
Once per year remove all stowed gear to the dockside. Return all the dockside gear that was used in past year to the boat. What's left on the dockside is taken home or put up for sale. 😱 😉
