it all depends what you have inside it

I owned a well built 53Ft boat that when put in the water with engine, ballast and windows weighed 11 tons according to the crane driver. I would guess that I increased that weight by at least 2 tons in the fitting out, 13 tons in all without water and fuel.
Therefore an estimated weight would be slightly more than 2 thirds of 13 tons, 8/9 tons. This is based on a 10/6/4 build quality.

about 6-10 tons
our 2:
25 ft = 4 tons
62 ft = 20 tons
The best way to find out is to calculate the water displaced. this is easy as the boat is flat bottomed.
Allowing for bow and stern, i would say the "full width length" is 33 feet. multiply by the width and displacement and you've got the volume of water equivilant to the wieght of the boat.
convert to litres. 1 litre of water is 1 KG. Then you can multiply up to get the metric wieght.

As a bit of a guess i would say about 6 to 8 tonnes. i had a 56ft narrow boat and it weighed 13 tonnes. empty of water and diesel. water is heavy stuff. a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter.
Average narrow boat is made from 10mm bottom 6mm sides and 4mm topsides. unless is is a Springer then it will have a 4mm bottom and sides and Turkey foil on the roof.

To a reasonable first approximation a typical narrowboat weighs in tonnes about the same as its length in metres. so somewere around 12 to 14 tonnes is a reasonable guess without more information. To get a more accurate idea you would need to calculate the volume of water displaced.

interesting answers here! my input is:
measure the cubic feet of the boat under the waterline.
multiply by 7 lbs a cubic foot.

Made of wooden? Steel? Lightweight aluminium?
More info needed.

Exactly half the weight of a 38ft. fat boat.

I think you mean the displacement when it is in the water.
