I am following this with interest, but must offer one caveat. Estimating the weight of stuff on a boat is like estimating how much money you spend on boat parts. If you are not keeping accurate records, you WILL go into denial and underestimate.
Case in point. For reasons not important now I weighed the contents of a Catalina 250 WB. Set up for occasional one to two week cruises. Nothing exorbitant. Some food stores, a few tools, boat hook, inflatable life vests, some handheld electronics, you get the idea.
Every time I stepped off with a box or basket I stepped on a scale....
The results: 800 pounds, more than twice what I estimated!!
Food for thought.
