Dear oh dear!
He didn't say "outfitted for cruising" he said "loaded for a weeks
cruising". There is a huge difference!
And you know, without actually doing the numbers, I think Bubbles may
be close to correct.
Take off 5 or 6 bodies then fill the tanks and load on a weeks food,
and displ would be about the same.

My mistake. I ment only to say loaded for a weeks cruising. Either way 4
people loaded for a weeks cruising can't touch the same boat with 6 bodies and
a few sailbags.
