New boat

18.67 feet long and weighs 1260 (pounds dry) rated 175,newer ones weigh more and rated less.I find it odd in the respect older ones do have some wood in them while newer are composite and should weigh less but dont.
My older 1985 385v at 19 ft 1 in weighs ten pds less according to the specs,rated for 200.
New stratos this length 1400-1500lbs,rated less.
Our two boats within an inch of depth and or beam mine being a tad more.
Enjoy you have a Tn boat made in Nashville- no longer.
With a 6 in jp will run about as well as most short 20 ft boats as built for the Tn river system.
