Jay, what is the comparative weight of the 22' Whaler Drive? What vehicle are you towing with? The Whaler Drive is a lot more boat. My under standing of the weight rating by Whaler is bare hull. Rigging, trailer, wires, gear, fuel, etc... all adds up.

I have the motor off my 1979 22' Revenge right now, as well as most of the rigging. I am bringing the boat to a fabricator for custom welding for some removable brackets. I am looking forward to launching it empty and then weighing the truck/trailer and do a proper boat weight. I will reweigh it fully rigged/powered later just to know what all that stuff adds up to.
