Hi,

Does anyone know if the club has a scale for the Crane to use or rent? It's to know where my boat is in terms of weight.

David.

I asked the same Q a few yrs ago. I did not discover one. I think the club should buy one.

Mike,

I don' remember correctly but didn't we have something to weigh the boats when we hosted the NAC last time?

The FSSA scale only determines if a boat is too light or not (tip scale or not). It does not actually measure weight in pounds. I’m told (Tyler Andrew at Flying Scot Inc.) that hanging scales are wildly inaccurate. You’re better off using a ground scale similar to what is used for trucks. Measure your trailer with and without boat. Check with the FSSA chief measurer and/ or Tyler Andrew at Flying Scot INC to determine what equipment to keep on the boat while measuring. Bill V.
