I am the new owner of a 1997 Catalina 250 Wing Keel, #299. The club winch has a weight limit of 5,000 pounds and the listed weight is 4,200 pounds. In theory I should have 800 pounds as a safety margin.
I am assuming the listed weight is "ready to sail" weight to include sails, etc. What I do not know is what is not included. I am not sure if they included the weight of the engine (mine is a 57 pound 5 HP) or the battery (about 40 pounds).
I thought someone may have better info or even weighed their boat.
But I as well, have never ran the boat across a scale, Nor the trailer, with the boat off. It’s an idea, find a Coop, run the boat and trailer over it, then. Find a boat ramp, unload the boat , then head back to the Coop with just the trailer. If you do, please let us all know. DB
