floater1:
Doing some research on Carlsons and found some interesting info on weight.  According to info in the link the CV-23 weighs less than my CVX-18?  What a weight difference between the CVX-16 and the CVX-18.  Is the info in this link accurate?  If so my CVX-18 is quite a pig ;D

GT150 JEFF:
Looked at the Carlson brochure

It listed the approx weight of cvx18 = 1080lbs

and the CV23=1400lbs

I am assuming that both of those weights are without motor and drives as the cv23 could either be i/o or jet

Jason:
The engine/drive makes a huge difference. In the CV16SS the engine/drive is half the weight of the boat!

Hyperacme:
What year is your CVX floater1 ?

Yup I'd have to guess that those #s are the approx weight of unrigged hulls.

Funny that you mention half the weight Jason. Was thinkin about it & my 'rigging' might exceed the weight of the dry hull?

Motor: ~310#
Fuel(full): ~135#
Battery: ~50#
Cooler/beverages/ice: Variable ...  Heh heh heh

Oh well anyway the bottom line is when ya start puttin motors/outdrives on & in these things that's when their weight begins to climb ...
