Weight

[neversummer]

Hey folks,

Does anyone know the approximate weight of a 1989 Maxum 22 cuddy cabin (I cant seem to find the proper model name, but its definitely not the 2300 SCR). LOA is 22ft, Beam is 8ft, engine is the 5.0 mercruiser v8. The mechanic said he thought the whole rig (including original steel trailer) was about 3800lbs, but that sounds a bit low to me. Wondering because my truck tows 5000lbs.

Thanks

These are the only models that I know were produced in 1989.

1600/XR - 16' 1700/SR - 17'
1700/XR - 17' 2000/SC - 20'
2000/SR - 20' 2000/XC - 20'
2000/XR - 20' 2300/SC - 23'

The net weight for the 2000SC is listed as 2,100lbs. and the 2300SC is listed as 3,000lbs. These weights are for the standard engines and are dry weights only. I have know idea how much your trailer and gear may add to your equation. The other thing to keep in mind is that boat manufactures are notorious for underestimating the weights of their boats. The only way to know for sure is to find a scale and weigh the whole package as you normally would have it loaded. Little things add up fast, just a gallon of gas weighs over six pounds.
