Starcraft lists the 2019 Launch Outfitter 283BH at 6,390 lb dry, a GVWR of 8,500 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,110 lb and a tongue weight of 610 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

Among the 7 Launch Outfitter floorplans Starcraft’s Launch Outfitter brochure (filed under 2019 on Starcraft’s own site; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 6 from the lightest, in a range from 4,070 lb (Launch Outfitter 21FBS) to 7,550 lb (Launch Outfitter 31BHS). Every figure in that comparison is Starcraft’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Starcraft’s Launch Outfitter brochure (filed under 2019 on Starcraft’s own site; the brochure prints no year); model year 2019 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.
