Two people Three is better! Just be certain of WHAT you are rolling the boat onto. I had cement blocks and when the boat was rolled the bow sat on one box and one block at each transom corner. [links]
I have a 16'ft Starcraft. With the floor out and motor off 4 guys can tackle it. Now with mine with the transom out and the splashwell out and basically everything gone except the hull I can move it myself but just cause of the length I would want another guy if I were taking it on and off the trailer. If your moving it any distance put a crowbar through the bow eye with a guy on each end and 2 guys on the back any you will be good to go. Oh and lastly I suggest beer before and after and maybe a little red meat it helps when you ask them to come back and flip it again. here
With seating for 4 and a standard 60 HP outboard, you’ll be able to spend the day on the water with ease. Another great feature of the Bowrider 160 is its maneuverability on the water. Because of the size, you should be able to easily get wherever you want to go, even docking won’t be as challenging as it would be in a larger boat. The weight: here
The Ultra 162 Fish and Cruise offers plenty of seating for 8 people, the option for up to 50 HP, and lots of under-seat storage, making it ideal for a family day on the water. Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to pontoon boats and the Ultra 162 Fish and Cruise is about as versatile as they come. It comes with rod holders and a live well to cover your fishing needs or go for a cruise around the lake. Either way, you’ll be comfortable on the Ultra 162 Fish and Cruise. [links]
Pontoon boats offer access to the world of boating in an affordable, easy to maneuver, and family-friendly way. here
How much does a 16 ft boat weigh? Depending on the boat type, between 1,332 lbs. and 1,884 lbs. without a trailer.
When buying a boat, it can be a lot of fun to think about how you are going to spend your days on the water whether it’s fishing, cruising, or swimming.
Rule #3: Make sure that your load is secure. Strap the boat to the trailer and avoid putting loose items in the boat while towing. It is not uncommon to see an improperly secured boat bounce off the trailer on a rough road. [links]
Rule #4: Determine if you need four-wheel drive. Even if the ramps at your local fishing spots are well maintained with gentle slopes, four-wheel drive could still be needed. This is especially true for saltwater locations or for bigger boats. [links]
The saltwater anglers among us will surely appreciate the wide variety of inshore and offshore fishing boats available. Most offshore vessels are much bigger than many anglers intend to tow. For that reason, we will stick to the smaller inshore boats that are ubiquitous along coastal waters.
If you already have a vehicle with adequate towing specifications for your boat, then you are all set. For those of you in the market for a boat and a vehicle to tow it, here is a simple list of 16 popular vehicles and their tow ratings.
The average weight of a fishing boat with equipment, motor, and trailer is about 3500 pounds. Fishing boat and trailer weights vary depending on the category of boat and the average range is from 2800 to 5000 pounds.
Here is a quick guide for comparing several four-stroke outboard motor weights: here
The first type of boat we looked at was the bigger ocean fishing boats. The boat we looked at was the Pursuit C 260, which is a 25-foot boat that weighed in around 6100 lbs.
If you just have a car or don’t want to bring a trailer around then you can always go with a canoe. They’re light, can be taken to any body of water, and you can drive them pretty much anywhere. The average weight of a fishing canoe is right around 66 lbs. here
The heavier types of canoes are the ones made from plastic and aluminum. These types of canoes generally weigh between 70 and 80 lbs. Canoes made from these materials are probably a bit more durable. here
