GPRXP Weight

[addicted]

weighed my GPR-1 yesterday. full tank, fire ext, battery, tow ropes, dry box, ect. ready to run. did not have a chance to figure out the balance point.


830 lbs.

i thought it was going to be very close to a stock '00 gpr, but within 2 lbs!!!! Dam. why doesn't yamaha offer a 2010 gpr with this motor? it is sooo fun and user friendly.

that's heavier than a gprxp.

that's heavier than a gprxp.

yeah, maybe a CF gprxp

remember, i'm talking real world #'s, full gas tank, ect.

[Hydrotoys]

No,
the vigilante, with closed loop cooling, and 5 gallons of fuel was 805lbs.

Why would You think this is not real world?

Sounds about right. I reported the following in 06.
-2002 GPRXP 800lbs.
-6 gallons gas
-closed loop cooling with very large heat exchanger.
-SST mounts
-Jpipe and rotax waterbox
-06 pump with 2" extention.
-Hull was completely dry, and had not been in water for 2 years.
-Battery was mounted across from waterbox in rear.
-Internal IC.
-Balance point was within an inch of the stock point.

...and just like EVERY conversion on the water, they will all be a little different for balance point/weight, since everyone has their own way to build a mousetrap.

In the same thread, and listed on 2 forums since 2006.

i don't head out to the water with 5 gallons in my ski. i go out with a full tank. that's why my #'s seem high to you.

at 6lbs/gallon, with 5 gallons in the tank, my gprxp would weigh 783lbs, and my fx conversion would weigh 764lbs.

any of these have carbon made hulls
