Gross tonnage question

[bay banger]

My friend is looking for the gross tonnage of his boat for his cg paperwork, I did the formula for him length times width times depth divide by 100 multiplied by .67. But I dont want to tell him to put it down if it isn't right. Tell me if I am right on this. Length 22'4" width 8ft depth 22" cockpit depth. The gross tonnage I got was 26.41408 gross tons-This just doesn't sound right to me. I can't remember if I did that for mine or called somebody.

Try converting cockpit depth to feet. In this case 1.8 feet. See if that helps.

A 22FT boat is about 7-8 thousand pounds call the co. of the boat and ask

hey great perspective now it comes out to 2.161152 gross tons and that sounds about the same as when I did mine-Thanks alot that makes all the difference!!!

[bay banger]

Theresa also a co. plate with the weight stamped and how much horse power
she holds and how many people she seats should be on the transome or helm area hope this helps

i thought (and Im probably wrong) that gross tonage was/is the amount of tonage the ship is capable of hauling- 2.6 tons in a 22 ft boat gives me that "sinking" feeling. LOL- maybe like .25 tons ? ( i think I put down "0").
