I weighed my SXR...

[tor*p*do]

dang, what a whale! :bigok:

my SN weighs 287 pounds according to list

and my 750 weighs 318 and I thout IT was heavy!!!

no wonder when I rode a SXR it went through the waves instead of over them:lmao:

 

[750SX]

it's gotta be the foam

 

[SXR-FOREVER]

Lets see here:

Right now it weighs

371
-15(hood)
-8 (smaller battery)
-5(brackets, rear exhaust, trimming)
-5 (blowsion exhaust outlet and gas cap)
338 - not bad..and thats if tis not foam..

Seems they all gain weight once they leave the show room floor. I would love to check a new ski SJ or SXR and test thier dry weight claims.

that sounds about right!! kawi claims 351 dry!!! ad a 20pound battery an thats 370!!

exactly... dry weight is not what you get.

i just weighed my '01 RN - i know it has a little wet foam, since i put a hole in the transom with a rock last fall. it weighed in at 308 lbs.

my project 96 RN weighed in at just 98 lbs (hull only) no foam, heavily reinforced. I will not be using two part foam... i have a shiot load of polystyrene that i plan to cut and shape instead. 1. it's way lighter, 2. it's super strong for good structural support, and 3. it will not absorb water.

No, not all of them...

A gallon of water saturated into and around the foam will add 8.5 pounds....

drain plugs and foam channels to let water out? do a write up when you refoam with polystyrne

wow, we all need to put our fat azz pigs(sxr) on a diet.

 

[FL-cracker]

Yea, the Stock SXR hull itself is right around 150lbs. :banghead: That is the only thing that holds it back.

He will, we have a bunch of styrofoam and too much time on our hands!!!

 

[FL-cracker]

Grind half the hull away, and reinforce with Carbon :biggrin:

thats what im thinking of doing!!! the hull is so thick!!!

 

[FLY6584]

Is fuel about 7Lbs per gallon?

It's actually about 6lbs/gal...

 

[Trinity Composites]

The bottom of the hull is 5/8 thick. I thought that was crazy.

 

[team510]

^^^ thats just a waste of material!!! their is no need for that! not only is the hull heavy but stuff like the e-box bracket,exhuast tube holder?,battery tray,motor plate is all made of steel!!!!

 

[FL-cracker]

Heavy battery, tank, waterbox, and hood too.

yup.. will do.
