Displacement Plus Ballest ?
4550 , the ballast is listed to give you an idea of
stability, or ''ballast to weight ratio''. SBV "RogueIT" wrote in message oups.com.. .. When I see that a boat has a Displacement of 4550 and the ballast is 1900, should I think the overall weight of the boat is 4550 or 6450? thanks RogueIT |

So displacement is the actual weight in pounds?
I quote from wikipedia "Displacement is the actual total weight of the vessel." but I have always tried to make things more complicated than they really are. thanks, RogueIT Scotty wrote: 4550 , the ballast is listed to give you an idea of stability, or ''ballast to weight ratio''. SBV |

Yup, the heavier the boat ,including the ballast, the more
water it''displaces''. "RogueIT" wrote in message oups.com.. .. So displacement is the actual weight in pounds?
