Depends. My SF weighed 56 lbs for the hull, 6 lbs hood, 7 lbs pole.
With stock tank, 2 gallons gas, JW battery it was 259.
Cart tank and LiFePO battery it came down to 246.
Calibrated shipping scale.

Nice, should be a sweet ride. Haven't heard a true ride report from anyone who didn't like one. Hope I even get to see one this year.

My Gen3 was 255 with a calibrated shipping scale, with kart tank, ballistic and a bpipe. This hull is around 20lbs lighter, so I guess 235 would be more accurate.
PFP pipes, big mags, billet motors all add weight, with this baby 701 it should be pretty light
Your second weight seems wrong? -12lbs for the battery and 12lbs for gas and it should be at 235

13 lb difference, not 12. 10 of that was the battery and 3 was the tank. (comparing an empty stock tank against the empty cart tank)
And now that you mention it, that was also with a B-pipe and stock cylinder and crank. I never did weigh it with the billet motor and pfp. I probably should have.
Edit: the gas tank weight difference is in the tank only. I include 2 gallons of gas in a rtr weight, because....well without gas it aint rtr
So take two gallons out and I would have been at 233ish

Ummmm. That's what I meant. There was one guy saying that it wouldn't flip, but it was also running bad. That's what I mean by a true ride report, someone who rode it with a good motor and pump. Don't be so quick to get defensive dude. I have been following the threads closely on the backie chan and talked with swapmeet a couple times about it. I like the way it looks. Every TRUE ride report was a good one. I'm looking at buying a hull this year, and so far I like it. I'd just like to be able to ride one but I missed Daytona, so that's my fault.

Sounds like we are are in agreement then
You have to have gas to ride, so I always include it.
What would be the accepted amount of fuel to consider in each ski? The 2 gals like mentioned above?

I think its all subjective... You don't need 2 gallons to ride. Rtr weight would be fully assembled, just add fuel weight to me.

You've got a point. If you look at any published weight for a motorcycle it is always "Dry Weight" with no fuel, oil, or coolant.....

hmm, maybe RTR should include a rider?
cant have a horse race w/o a jockey!
I propose "dry weight" is the standard which all skis shall be measured (according to the "X-h2o Standard of Weights, Measures, Infractions, and Bans")
All in favor?
I also think hull weight should include the hood.
