Some where between 5-50 . What Trojan do you have Trogan made expresses from 25 foot to well ove 40' . Net tonnage has nothing to do with what a boat weights its the volume . Are you trying to Document a boat ?

also:
The factory published dry weight does NOT include any options.
Once you add these in, your actual weight will be different
generator
anchor(s), ground tackle
windlass
generator
refrigerator(s)
ice makers
cockpit seating
wetbar
microwave
HVAC
swim platform
tools
spares
personal items
safety equipment
My 10 meter express has a published dry weight from Lancaster of 12,500
Fully loaded with 40 gallons of water and fueled, the reality is in the neighborhood of 18,000

Net tonnage is not what a boat weights . My boats factory weight is 16000. real life its 18000-19000 lbs . My Net Tonnage is 16 (32000 lbs) My Gross Tonnage is 21 ( 42000 lbs
)

Our 12m International Sedan is documented at 24 Gross Tons, 19 Net Tons. That is volume based for USCG purposes. The actual loaded weight is around 25,000 lbs.
