he had various water tanks and sand bags in the bottom of the hull to
approx the full up weight. I don't remember which spec he had it loaded
to.

These numbers below are from http://www.mecat.com/indexpower.htm, so his
quote of 11.4 tons would match the design waterline.

Weight dry (no fluids) out of the shop = 14,200 lbs. 
Weight full tanks plus 2500 lbs. of gear = 19,920 lbs. 
Design waterline = 22,800 lbs.
Reserve buoyancy = 2880 lbs.
Prismatic Coefficient = .69
Bridgedeck clearance (full load) = 31 inches
Center of Gravity (full load) = 21b above DWL
Hull beam to length ratio = 1 to 13.5

Hi Mark - Is this light ship, or half-load, or what? The fact that
the builder is using decimals in the displacement makes me wonder.
