Not sure why it’s so fuzzy, 18,000 with twins, add up the fuel and water weight and you should get close, this document is in the library here.

so that's the issue im running into.
that spec sheet says displacement and that is different from weight.
ive seen dry weight listed at 18k as well, but some claim that hull only no engines
and some say its fitted, so im still trying to figure out what the boat weights fully rigged

Hmm, you sure about that? :shock:

Use the factory displacement then add at least 10%: boats tend to grow with age, tools, spares, chain(s), Safety stuff, cutlery, equipment added after commission like search light, electronics with antennas, etc, etc.
The minimum lift I would get would be 20,000 lbs, perhaps add another 10% for heavy rain and dead batteries. (Bilge filling up with water, pumps not working, happens all the time to my dingbat neighbor with a boat on his lift :roll: )

Edit: And of course add water and fuel, goes without saying... :shock:

For what it is worth my 31 TE has a listed Dry weight of 14,400 with twins. I had a 16K lift and snapped a cable. (not fun) I have now had the boat weighed on two separate travel lifts and it clocks in at just over 20K. I was shocked. Aside from water, fuel, gear I have a feeling there are many other items in the fitout that are not included. Such as the generator, maybe appliances, pumps etc. Apparently it adds up. If I were you I would have the boat weighed before buying the lift to save a lot of heart ache and money.
