alright i just uploaded my pictures to the photo gallery.  Someone please look at the pics, coachloehn, and let me know what you think the weight is.
thanks

Tough guess but a starting point would be a 246 EF at 2900lbs.
Add a grand to that and you should be in the ballpark.

Welcome aboard Coach  :!:  :!:
That's a nice big boat, plenty of room and lots of open space.  In our photo gallery on the opening page, we have a lot of spec sheets (and are always looking for more if anyone has any) and there happend to be one of your boat type  8)
You also could take it to a truck weigh scale to get exact (plus liquids).

Yep - 246FF for Family Fisherman, also just called 246 Cuddy.  Yours is a 246FF I/O and came with either BMW, OMC, or Merc outdrives.  Yes, BMW made outdrives for Aquasports!  I could not tell from the pix, but it looks like you have the OMC outdrive - is that right?  Max. HP was 280, so your 5.7 (GM 350) is about right for this boat and a good match.  This combo should really go, yet not drink - uh - like a sailor?...  

Draft is 12", which ain't bad for a deep-V boat like this.  She can handle about any water you want to take her into...  Porta-Potty was also an option, as well as a full camping canvas setup.  74 gallon fuel was standard, with 100 gallons as an option - fill that up today and see what the bill is!  

The top is aftermarket and looks solid - hey, maybe you could even put a second station up there...  :twisted:  

Looks like a great boat - good for a day use or even an overnighter.   :)

That boat has very nice lines and looks to be in great condition - even the engine compartment looks spotless.  70-square feet of space in the cockpit - a lot of usable room for a boat in the 25-foot range!  Have you thought about a full transom teak swim platform? :)

[coachloehn]

The only thing I'm thinking about right now is going fishing.  The platform sounds like a good idea but if we put one on I think we'll go with a composite material, less cleaning and up-keep.  Your right, she does have a lot of space to move around.  The last boat I fished from was a 22' Cobia center console, not much room.  Should be out in the bay this weekend fishing for some flounder!!!
