f 26 hardtop weight

[Sanctuary 2]

Hey we are ready to move boat.

Anyone know how much an f26 weighs?

How big a trailer is needed to move it?

Thanx

I would suggest 10k minimum to 12.5 range. You are looking at 8k empty.

I don't think its that heavy , I know the list the F30 at 8K dry . I will try and find my spec sheet .

Original Documentation for 1971 and 1972 state a weight of 5300 lbs and I think that's bone dry. You should add a factor of safety to that. They get heavier over the years. How far to the water over the road?

[Sanctuary 2]

Thanks the update. I was thinking about 5000 lbs.

No more than 10 miles on secondary roads.

The 1971 manual lists a dry weight of 5,300 lbs. Add 6 lbs. per gallon for fuel and 8 lbs. per gallon for water. You'll also need to account for any equipment on board. If you PM me your email address I can email you the 1971 information.

Wow, I wonder what changed in construction? I know my FB adds some weight, but I am over 7,000 empty. I have some core issues on the foredeck and port side deck, but could I be holding 500 - 1000 pound of mositure there? 75-83 brochure lists empty weight of an express at 6,000.

Anyone who has had moisture issues, please " weigh in" on this!!

They are talking about a different "26" but I have included the specs for your F-26
