Curious if anyone with a 505 has had their boat weighed? We obviously have the displacement number from the owner's manual, but this is often not a perfect representation of what the boat weighs in real world conditions. Any external / real world data points, whether an official measurement or not, would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

My 505 weighs in at 16.100kg. But that includes a 10kVA generator, 4 aircon units, washer/dryer, water maker, 100m chain, full fuel, half full water, dinghy & outboard, tools etc.

Having shipped a boat cross country, I would advise you to use *YOUR* boat's weight for any paperwork or support determinations. I made the mistake of using factory weight from the brochure and that did not include generator, electric winches, AC units, thrusters, or any optional items. I lost four days with the boat sitting in Oregon while the paperwork had to be recreated.

Next time its in the straps, ask the operator to grab the weight from the dashboard.
