Jump to new posts Re: anybody weighed their boat with bathroom scales? by John Williams @ Today at 05:40 AM

Yep - the front two can go just forward of the front beam, and the back two go just forward of the rear beam. That'll keep your hulls off the ground. Easiest way, track it into position, lift the bows to pull the trax, and set it on the front scales.

I shouldn't be bothered by making a larger hole on both sides of the remaining tang in the hull. Yyou can always fill this up later and repair it with pieces of laminate padwise. So make room, don't go tinkering in a too small workarea. If you have

Thanks for the input Jake. I will surely take all of that into consideration! I see you are out of SC, lucky guy. We are currently in TN, about 30 min from Land Between the Lakes, but are currently looking for land to purchase in SC.
