Boat. "Kazanka" A legend of domestic shipbuilding, tested by decades of operation on rivers, lakes and reservoirs, future owners often face the question: How much does Kazanka weigh in the “naked” form?It's critical for transport, for calculating the load capacity of the trailer, and even for registering with GIMS.
In this article, we will analyze the weight of all popular modifications. "The Kazankis." - from the classical Kazanki-5M. lengthened Kazanki 7.You'll find out how body weight affects driving performanceYou can see what factors add weight, even in the basic configuration, and why data-sheet figures may not be as good as real measurements. weigh the boat yourself without professional equipment.
Why it is important to know the exact weight of the Kazanka without equipment
Boat weight boulderless, motorless and gearless - baselineon which depend:
- 🚗 Selection of vehicle for transport (carrier vs. truck) for example, Kazanka-5M. It weighs about 120 kg, and Kazanka 7. - already under 200 kg, which requires a reinforced trailer.
- 📝 Registration with GIMSThe technical data sheet indicates the "dry" weight, and discrepancies can cause questions when registering.
- ⚓ Calculation of load capacityKnowing the weight of the hull, you will be able to correctly distribute the load (passengers, motor, fuel, fishing equipment).
- 🔧 Repair and storageWeight determines how many people it takes to get the boat down and up and the type of shelving for winter storage.
Many owners are surprised when they discover that the real weight is not the same. "The Kazankis." 10 to 15 percent more passports. metal-thickWe're going to compare the factory data with the actual measurements.
Weight of Kazanka by models: table with exact data
Below are the current data on the weight of the most common modifications "The Kazankis." In the basic configuration (no boules, motor, seats and additional equipment), values are based on factory specifications and independent measurements of owners.
| Model | Length, m | Passport weight, kg | Real weight (measured), kg | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kazankah-5M | 5.0 | 110–120 | 125–135 | Classic model with a transom for an outboard motor up to 25 hp |
| Kazankah-5M2 | 5.0 | 115–125 | 130–140 | Reinforced body, bottom thickness 2.5 mm |
| Kazankah-6 | 6.0 | 150–160 | 170–185 | Extended version, often used for fishing |
| Kazankah-7 | 7.0 | 180–200 | 210–230 | Maximum load capacity up to 6 people |
Important: the real weight is always higher than the passport by 10-20 kg due to the technological features of production (welding seams, primer, paint). For example, Kazanka-5M. With a factory weight of 120 kg after painting and installing the transom can weigh up to 140 kg.
⚠️ Attention: If you're buying a b/u "Kazanku"Make sure to check if the hull has been repaired with the replacement of metal sheets, additional linings on the bottom or sides can increase the weight by 30-50 kg!
What affects the weight of the Kazanka even without equipment
Even in the naked form, the weight of the boat can vary.
- 🔨 Metal thicknessStandard for "The Kazankis." 2 mm bottom, 1.5 mm sides, but some manufacturers use 2.5 mm metal for reinforced models, which adds ~15-20 kg.
- 🎨 Painting and primerQuality coverage (e.g., "Hummerright." or "Yacht lacquer") may weigh up to 10 kg.
- 🔧 Welding seamsManual welding leaves more inflows than automatic welding, which increases the weight by 5-10 kg.
- 🛠️ Rivets and rivetsAluminum rivets are lighter than steel rivets, but less durable, up to 3-5 kg difference.
- 📏 Housing geometryHigh-sided boats (e.g., Kazanka-5M with superstructure) weigh 10 to 15 kg more than standard.
If you plan on upgrade (e.g., installing extra stiff edges or strengthening the transom), note that each kilogram of metal will add weight, for example, strengthening the transomper under a 40 hp engine can increase the mass by 8-12 kg.
To reduce the weight of the Kazanka before transportation, remove removable elements: seats, a transom (if it is attached to bolts), and drain water from ballast containers (if any).
How to weigh Kazanka without professional scales
If you do not have the ability to use crane or car scales, use one of the proven methods:
- Libra for luggage (up to 50 kg):
- Lift the boat on one side (for example, by the bow) and weigh.
- Repeat for the stern and middle.
- Add the results up. The error is ±5-10 kg.
- Car jack + nomen:
- Lift the boat with a jack, putting the bezmen (dynamometer) under it.
- Multiply the readings by the number of points of rise.
- Measure the length, width and height of the boat.
- Calculate the volume of the case (about) and multiply by the specific weight of the metal (7.85 g / cm3 for steel).
- Add 10-15% to the stitches and paint.
To be accurate, take measurements 2-3 times and take the average. If the boat is already with boules or partially equipped, subtract the weight of removable elements (for example, the weight of the boat is not enough). boulder - 15-25 kg per pair.
Prepare the boat (remove all removables)
Use 2-3 methods for accuracy

Comparison of Kazanka with analogues: who is easier?
For objectivity, we compare weight. "The Kazankis." Other popular metal boats of similar sizes:
| Model | Length, m | Weight, kg | Advantages | Deficiencies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kazankah-5M | 5.0 | 125–135 | Strength, maintainability | Heavyer than PVC boats |
| Oka-M | 4.9 | 100–110 | Easy 20 to 25 kg. | Lower load capacity |
| Ob-4M | 5.0 | 140–150 | More modern design | Higher maintenance |
| PVC boat (e.g., Flagship 320.) | 3.2 | 30–40 | Superlight, compact. | Less reliability on the wave |
"Kazanka" Loses PVC boats in weight, but wins in weight durability. For example, Kazanka-5M. It weighs 3-4 times as much as a similarly sized inflatable boat, but it lasts 20+ years without replacing the hull. collapsible (for example, Kazanka-5M with unfastened sides).
Metal boats weigh more than PVC, but they benefit from reliability and maintainability, and the best choice depends on the operating conditions: for long trips, Kazanka, for easy transportation, PVC.
Transportation "Kazanka": how weight affects the choice of trailer
The weight of the boat determines which trailer you will need:
- 🚗 Up to 200 kg: a light trailer with axle load of up to 75 kg (e.g., "MISA 8105").
- 🚛 200–350 kg: a trailer with a braking system is required (e.g. "Baby 3.").
- 🔄 More than 350 kg: a load trailer with a reinforced frame and registration with the traffic police is required.
When calculating, take into account not only the weight of the boat, but also:
- Motor weight (e.g., Mercury 9.9. - 38 kg, Yamaha 15. - 45 kg.
- Fuel weight (1 liter of gasoline = 0.75 kg).
- Weight of equipment (anchor, paddles, battery, fishing accessories).
Example of calculation Kazanki-5M.: 130 kg (boat) + 40 kg (engine) + 30 kg (fuel and equipment) = 200 kg → You need a trailer with a reserve of up to 250 kg.
⚠️ Attention: If you are transporting a boat on the roof of a car, check the maximum load on the roof (specified in the instructions for the car). Kazanki-5M. Special attachments and weight distribution on 4 points are required.
Frequent errors in the assessment of the weight of Kazanka
Many owners make the following mistakes:
- Ignore the weight of paint and anticorrosion coatingFor example, two-layer painting. "Hummerright." adds up to 8kg.
- Forget the weight of the transom.A standard 15-25 hp transom weighs 10-15 kg.
- Don't count moisture.After rain or washing, up to 5-10 kg of water can accumulate in the crevices of the case.
- Only the data-sheet figures is trusted.As we've found out before, real weight is often 10 to 20 percent higher.
To avoid mistakes, use them. figurative:
Real weight = Passport weight + Weight of paint (5-10 kg) + Weight of transom (10-15 kg) + Weight of moisture (up to 5 kg)
How to check whether the seller is hiding the real weight of the used "Kazanka"?
During the inspection, pay attention to:
Metal thickness (use a barbell).
- Additional overlays on the bottom or sides.
- Quality of welds (coarse seams = more weight).
Type of paint (powder heavier than liquid).
If the seller avoids weighing, this is a reason to be wary.

Does the weight of a boat affect the speed of the motor?
Yeah, but not critically. Kazanka-5M. 130 kg with motor Mercury 9.9. Accelerates to 30-35 km / h If the weight increases to 160 kg (with passengers and equipment), the speed will fall by 5-10 km / h.
- Increase the power of the motor (but not exceed the permissible for the boat).
- Optimize the distribution of cargo (heavy objects closer to the center).
What is the weight of the Kazanka with boules and engine?
An approximate calculation for Kazanki-5M.:
- Boat: 130 kg
- Booley (pair): 20 kg
- Motor. Yamaha 15.: 45 kg
- Fuel (20 litres): 15 kg
