Reply With Quotehmmm, whats a standard one weigh? 30 40 lbs more
Well ok only one but still!
Customer is close to picking up his bare 21 tunnel so we got out the new crane scale and weighed it.
This boat is a "Lightweight FX" hull, the lightest of the 3 models we make.
Weight is hull, welded-in intake and race style rock grate.
<drum roll>

We've advertised the standard tunnel as being 640 lbs for a while now and I want to verify that.
The lightweight 80 lbs lighter and the the FX lightweight 120 lbs lighter. So we appear to be right in line with what's been said for the past while in terms of the lightweight FX assuming the 640 to be accurate.
Whats most interesting about this weight is other than not being able to walk on the bow, the boat is actually still very strong. Of course if you stuff a roller wrong at 100 mph you're likely to push in the bow but the boat in general will still take heavy hits to the keel etc It will get you back to the trailer in almost all cases( if SHARP rocks are involved all bets are off lol)
We have several other bare tunnels kicking around right now and when the boys in the back have time to measure them I will add them here.
(We have to bring them inside overnite so we're not weighing 50 lbs of snow too LOL)
The boat measured today had a 3/8" keel, 0.063" deck, 0.125" air tunnels and 0.102" sides. (full specs below)

I think you need one sleeper.At least if you say you run a ford in a Eagle it will be ok then.
Xero I think DHL is using my spoon to shovel snow with .I still have not got it.
Wow that sucks I was about to ask you how you were making out installing it.
Do you have tracking info? I have no clue how long that normally takes.
:idea:
Ive heard they can be hard on hunks of aluminum at customs
I called bernie twice and has not heard back from dhl to track it.It mignt be considered a weapon of mass destruction crossing over to USA.I did get the bill from my credit card today.
Yea and our shipping girl is in the middle of a move etc and hasn't been in much lately so thats probably not lightening his load. Bernie is a very busy guy as it is

hum.... at 525 lbs does that work out to be $58.00 per lb.
I do love those boat's though. A 21' open bow, but I would need a back seat.
