Go to one of the local tips, usually they're equipped with a weighbridge and i'm pretty sure if you ask nicely you be able to use it.

You don't have to do that, just tell them you want to weigh it and they will let you.

i'd say between 650kg and 750kgs. it seems to be about what i've seen looking at new ali boats for their hull weights.

Thanks biggerfish and Brucesta. I was thinking it would be around that area of weight Brucesta, did some loooking around on the net and it seems alot of plate ali boats in that length are around that weight, eg 5.5m Barcrusher was 650kg(hull only).

Cheers to all who gave me advice to take it to the tip to get weighed. Sounds like a good idea, as my loacl is only a couple of km's from me. Makes sense that they would have weigh bridges..... Will give them a call next week, see if they'll do me a freebie, afterall i am a rate payer in this council!
