I checked my boat purchase against NADA and after all the bells and whistles that came with this boat it came to $8990. Not too bad since I paid $9300. The only true problem discovered was a distributor locked out at 30 degrees and very sloppy steering. Both have been resolved. I haven't put it in the water with the new MSD 6AL installed last weekend.
Ok, back to the weight question Nada says:
Boats and Personal Watercraft
1998 TEAM HAWAIIAN BOATS
HAWAIIAN POWER BOATS INC
17 CAT
Jet Drive Boats
Length: 17'
Model Name/Description: 17 CAT
Boat Type: Jet Drive Boats
Hull Material: Fiberglass
Beam: 7'
Engine: 1
300 HP
Gasoline
Net Weight: 1600
Is the NET weight for the boat alone? How much does a 17' hull normally weigh? This boat acts like its very heavy trying to get it up on plane. Maybe its all the zz-4 motor has. :idea: It has a "B" cut impellor and Dominator pump.
Thanks for any imput.
