A question about boat weight and displacement

As far as I know displacement = weight. Certainly the weight of the boat will
displace the amount of water with that same weight (hence the term
displacement). That said, for documentation purposes the Coast Guard refers to
a tonnage (don't recall if they call it displacement) that relates only to boat
volume, not the weight.
