I have no opinion about the significance of this other than it's rather surprising. I have assumed that boats similar in style and size to ours would weigh about the same but that is clearly not the case.
Marin, the 17k I quoted would be more comparable to 26k I see as the dry weight of older GB36 twins in YW listings. It's all that extra glass they put in the hull I guess..., plus an extra engine, etc.
