6850 pounds is the number I've been working with. I have A4 inboard, Std
rig, dinette interior. I could see the 6850 climbing up to 7300 if I have to add for the engine and mast and
rig. I can believe that the travellift weight gauge is off by 1000 pounds. But that still leaves 700 pounds unspoken for. I keep many of the cushions off the boat. I'd be pretty upset if it turns out that other C27's weigh 7300#, and I'm at 8300#! It's a little hard to win a race when you're carrying an extra 1000#.
