Anyone ever weigh their MV34?

Post by Tanah-Keeta »

The yard travel lift indicated that my boat weighed 19000 lbs. I thought that was high. Has anyone else weighed their's for comparison?

Ron-

I was told when I was picking the boat up in Whitby that she weighed 22,000 lbs. I think that was close to the # I heard when she was hauled for the bottom job in May. No dink but the normal "stuff" was aboard.

Our MV34 reportedly weighed 16,000 lbs, but the travel lift operator wasn't sure about the accuracy. With 8 6v Trojan house batteries, full scuba gear for 2 including dive compressor, TV, two 40# anchors, 100' of chain rode, bicycle, kayaks, and other "necessities" this sounded a little light to me. I do pay the price when it comes to cruise speed - - with my 75hp Yanmars I have WOT of 15 kts and cruise about 10kts.
