Thanks for checking that. Are you saying 6500-7000 fully loaded(gear,fuel,water,etc)? I'm getting some really mixed answers here...
Hey, Brandon,
I was going by memory, but when I went back to my calculations for displacement, I had figured less. This is what I figured for mine:

Displacement Calculation
3000lb. Hull
1300lb. Power Plant
75lb Batteries
660lb Fuel
260lb Water
750lb Crew
100lb Cooler Contents
100lb Fishing Gear
100lb Other Gear

6345lb Calculated Displacement

So according to my miscalculations, you should be just under 6000 for only the boat and gear. If you weigh yours, let us know. I suspect the 3000lb dry weight was a guess at best, and it could go 500lbs. either way.
Dave
