194FS...Does dry weight include the engine & stern drive?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am planning on buying a boat lift and want to make certain that I have the correct weight of the boat so as not to buy "too little lift". Can someone please confirm what dry weight means with Monterey.

 

Thanks!

Dry weight = everything that is attached to the boat except liquids and your gear.

But the specs page typically only shows a single weight, whereas the boat has a number of different possible engineS with a wide variety in weights. Can I assume the listed weight is witht he smallest/lightest engine?

Search the specs of the engine you are going to have in your boat, or all of the engins offered. Pick the heaviest weight even if that is not for your engine. I would add 500 lbs. at least to the dry weight as a safety factor after you find the weight of the heaviest engine.
