Great discusiion guys but the displacement is not the dry weight. We NEED the info for hauling purposes so I need to know how much the designed weight of the boat is if it were hung on a scale. Perhaps Bill might have the answer. Chuck

No difference, Chuck.

If you want to be safe, add another 2,000 lbs. to the 26,500 lb. spec (since Clair DID overbuild his boats) and you'll be well within the range.

So, starting at 28,500 add all your stores, water, fuel, ground tackle and so on and you'll get pretty close to cruising displacement.

Off the bat, I'd bet that your boat will weigh in at 32,000lbs right now (cruising mode).

Best,
Bill

Many thanks Bill. I knew you had the answer.
