I'll figure it out as soon as I can dig out some of my stuff.


Weren't there two models of BT's in 95 though?

It is the extended cockpit model

Are you refering to this? http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1995/Black-Thunder--1864644/Holland/MI/United-States

Just fyi, the term extended cockpit in BT land generally refers to the models with 3 rows of seating (2 rows of bolster, and then the bench back seat). I think the first "extended cockpit" model that BT built was in the spring of 1998 if my memory serves me right.

Weight of the 95' Yanmar boat would probably be in the 12-13k range. It was also a one-off "open" cockpit layout because it extends all the way to the transom.

Also, in 1995, the 2 production models they had were the 43SC and 43GT (tall deck and flat deck). Both had straight bottoms and the same cockpit layout, the SC just had more headroom underdeck.

Correct on the EC "Extended Cockpit".


In 1995 there would have only been the XT 430 GT Performance Series and the XT 430 SC Sport Cruiser. The GT was the Flat Deck (5' 8" headroom)and the SC was the raised deck (6' 10" head room).

The SC has an 11,500 lb weight and the XT had an 10,000 lb weight. Both of these weights would have been with twin mercruisers and Bravos. The twin Yanmars would definitely add weight.
