You can easily get to 3800 lbs in a Seafari, and my main tank only holds 35 gallons! I actually weighed most of the gear before we loaded up for our 700 mile, 2 week cruise in 2010 circumnavigating So. Fla. Check out the attached list I came up with. I think I also carried an extra 10 gallons in jugs because we had some 120 mile runs! Turns out I didn't need the extra gas, but never thought I'd average 4.4 mpg! It's really amazing how all the little stuff adds up!
