Different types of boats and different boat models will all have different weights associated with them.
Bowrider boats come in a lot of different lengths, but the most popular length seems to be 21 feet.
This boat has a length of 18’5″ and a beam of 83″. It is made from 5052 gauge aluminum, and it has a bench seat behind a center console.
It weighs 3,468 pounds dry and 5,200 pounds dry if you include the trailer. This weight includes a 150HP outboard engine. more
The weight of this boat is 950 pounds, so it is easy to tow, but it could be a little difficult to pole for long periods of time.
This boat weighs 13,300 pounds.
The Explorer is 15.6 feet long, 37 inches wide and 15 inches deep. Three molded plastic seats are standard on this model, one at each end and one in the center of the canoe. The Explorer is designed to carry a maximum of three people. Its maximum weight capacity is 800 pounds, which makes it capable of carrying gear for canoe camping. Its length is relatively short compared to most two- and three-seat canoes, which typically run between 16 and 18 feet long. more
The Explorer is made of Ram-X plastic. Coleman originally developed Ram-X in the early 1980s and licensed the patent to Pelican. Ram-X is a tough material that stands up well to scrapes and bumps. However, it is so flexible that it needs a "keelson," or rigid brace, running the length of the canoe to hold its shape. The Coleman versions of the Explorer were all manufactured with the keelson. When Pelican took over, it eliminated the keelson on its earlier models, resulting in hull distortion. Later versions of the Pelican models were sold with the keelson. Look for a hollow aluminum tube running from bow to stern.
Coleman brand canoes are now manufactured by Pelican International and are sold under the Pelican brand. The Explorer is no longer listed on Pelican's website as a current model, but used models are easy to find. Pelican sold the Pelican Explorer DLX at a retail price of $399, primarily in discount sporting goods stores such as Cabela's and Dunham's. The Explorer is an inexpensive, durable, polyethylene plastic canoe suitable for beginner to intermediate canoeists.
The Explorer weighs 81 pounds, which makes it heavier than other canoes of its size. For instance, a 17-foot aluminum canoe weighs between 65 and 77 pounds, and a 16-foot Royalex plastic canoe weighs about 55 pounds.
All in all, the majority of Jon Boats are going to weigh less than 1,200 pounds (544kg) between the hull, engine, and fuel. For their performance and utility, they are very lightweight.
If you are doing the math on your specific car, be sure to include not only the total weight of the boat and trailer, but also any passengers and luggage/gear that you have in the car itself.

I checked the Lund site and didn't see the info under specifications. They have the hp rating but not weight capacity. here
I have a 1972 Lund 14' Aluminum boat and am in the process of doing some modifications. A couple members here warned me about weight and I am trying to figure out the capacity of my boat.
