No, you don't need to guess about the weight of rails, steering cables, hatches etc. because the specified weight from Whaler already includes all equipment that a particular model comes with as standard equipment.
Whaler says the specified weight of a 1974 Montauk is 770 pounds. Yes, you need to add the weight of optional equipment like the forward casting platform.
The V-4 1984 Evinrude 90 with power TnT weighs little overt 300 pounds.
