I know this varies....do you know approx? or where can i find out?

i would guess around, 3k to 2450 lbs. just find the displacement and subtract around 1500. there will be your answer. you can get displace ment by the botto of the boat, to the surface of the water, now measure width, and length. add togeather, and now figure a gallon of warters weight, and wallah your weight.

I would like to be able to work on the boat in my driveway in my driveway I am looking for any suggestions on how to set it on blocks thanks!!

When I worked for a Boat Dealer when a teenager, we used large solid styrofoam blocks, not sure where you may get those. You may try wood and make like a 2'x2' foot pad with some old carpet on top. I would be afraid a narrow block may dent the pontoons from the weight. But, you should be able to figure this out. You could go to a marina or boat dealer and may see how they block theirs for a better idea. The hard part will be getting it off the trailer. You need to slide the boat back on the trailer so you can block the back and then slowly pull the trailer out blocking again maybe every 6 feet. You could tie a rope to a tree and boat and pull forward with your truck/car. Get the back about 3 feet off the trailer then move to the driveway. IF, there a place to tie the rope in your Garage/Driveway you just do it all there. If, you can do it in the drive, you just keep it tied and slowly pull foward setting blocks where needed. As the weight on the back gets to the correct point it will raise in front until the blocks catch it. I would have my blocks as high as possiable. This make Trailering later easier. To retrailer later you may have to disconnect the trailer from the truck and raise the tounge in the air to start under the boat. Then attach the winch and start winching onto the trailer.once it gets under the boat a few feet try having some help and push the tounge down and hitch to your truck OR keep winching until you can Teeter the tounge to the ground, this gives you a downhill angle and help the boat roll on easier as you winch and then hitch up to your truck. This the best way I know without a lot of equipment. Some people rig up jacks similar to those used for those in bed Campers on a truck.

The boat is 24'.
I am anchoring on a lake that is mostly muddy, clay soil. (sandy in some spots)
It's a small lake with calm waters... I don't expect to be out in strong winds.

Any advice on anchor weights? Do I need more than 1 anchor? Should the anchor have a chain on it?

THANKS for all help!

If you plan on fishing, I would get two anchors because if not the wind will constantly turn your boat around. You probably don't need one with prongs on it since you will only be going in a lake, but it might not hurt. I would say that you probably want a 25lb anchor maybe 2, and that would do the trick. You don't need a chain, just use a rope for the anchor plus they are a lot quieter. Get at least 25 foot of rope with it as well, chances are you won't be that deep, but if you are it's nice to have.

Check ebay at least you can get a ballpark price of what you are looking to spend, and there are great ideas there too on the diffrent type that are out there.
