total weight of a 1998 Air/spott Nautique

[5bison]

hi everybody. I have a 1998 sport/air Nautique. everything I've read says that it is 2700 pounds dry weight. I am wondering if that includes the engine or not?if anybody could help that would be great.

That includes the engine but does not include fuel.

thanks. That's what I thought. I have been having trouble with my boat lift.one of the people I talked to today said some boats don't count the engine in their dry weight specs. the guys comment made me a little nervous the boatlift I bought was too small.

What size lift do you have? 4000 lb would be ideal for your boat.

Dry weight is no fluids, no water, no added accessories in the boat (that can easily add an additional 500# or more).... That said, I think one should always side to a heavier rated lift.... Just my .02....

I have a 4000lb Floe lift.

You should be fine if the dry weight is 2700. Remember everything add's weight. Tower? Extra gear left in boat, added weight for wakeboarding, etc.

Yeah 4000 lb is fine. No worries with that boat.
