Been reading some boat specs on boattraders.com, got quite confused.
Dry Weight: So I guess this means hull, engine, machineries, structure, but no fuel, water nor people?
Displacement: What does that mean? Full displacement? Hull displacement? Is there any convention people follow or do everyone just put whatever they want there?
Draft: Is this the max draft? I guess it has to be, right?
One critical piece of information seems to be missing from almost all online post is the certified capacity. I was told most boat has a plate with that info on it, but looks like no one bother to include it when they post on line? Is there any general guide like for a 50000lbs dry weight boat, roughly how much can it carry?
