Weight Of Glass Hull 4.5 Mtr

[warnie100]

hi can anyone tell me the approximate weight of the average fiberglass hull without the motor i am going to remove and paint the boat but need to be able to lift it back onto the trailer with a sling or something as not to damage the new paintwork any help is appreciated

I doubt it would be more than 500kg dry weight.

thanks guys looks like a couple of slings aND a block&tackle should do the job

i have a Haines Hunter 4.4m half cabin fibreglass boat which is supposed to weigh 380 odd kg's hull only(not verified). i hope that helps....

Hi Warnie My Half cab is i thought around 5-700kgs nether to less you have a 1tonne chain block i would suggest to use some sought of spreader bar to attach sling eg (waterpipe or thick steel RHS or something like that) to keep it level.

I like your initiative.
