Re: 25 seafari questions - weight calculations
I just looked at the BUC website and the 2003 2509 WA Trophy OB model is listed as 4400 lbs net weight. The net weight of a boat is based upon buoyancy, and is the weight of the hull, plus power, fuel, persons & gear. It is also called displacement.
For example, my 20' Seafari has a listed hull weight of 1800 lbs. My motor weighs 375 lbs, I carry 28 gallons fuel, and I have a max capacity of 9 persons, or 1455 lbs persons and gear. If we go with the max of 1455, the equation looks like this: Hull - 1800 lbs Fuel - 168 lbs Motor - 375 lbs Persons/gear- 1455 lbs Net Weight or Displacement - 3798 lbs For your 25' Seafari: Hull - 3000 lbs, 105 g. Fuel - 630 lbs, 7.4 L sterndrive(1982 weight w/ TRS) - 1244 lbs, Max capacity persons & gear - 1619 lbs = 6493 lbs net weight. So an "apples to apples" comparison using your examples is: 2509 Bayliner Trophy = 4400 lbs net weight or displacement 25' SeaCraft Seafari = 6493 lbs net weight or displacement
