Weighing a small boat???

Posted by Jon B. on May 11, 2007

Any suggestions on how to weigh a small boat? I have a 14',cedar strip wherry, 48" wide a mid-point,I'm guessing weighs around 120#. However I'd like something more definite. I thought I could weigh it on my bathroom scale, but balancing that on a scale is a real hoot. Truck or refuse scales won't register something that small.Local boat dealers have nothing. I purchased a 145# capacity hoister for my garage and I want to be assured the boat is under that limit. Appreciate your help.
