>It's a meaningless number without a whole lot of add'l information.

All that dollars per pound of displacement provides is A GUESSTIMATE 
of what the cost of a boat might be. It provides nothing more than a 
ballpark idea.

It does NOT replace getting the actual price of a boat from its 
manufacturer. It does NOT replace getting a genuine cost estimate 
from a builder.

What I've got out of the discussion is that multiplying displacement 
(in pounds) by $20 to $25 U.S. will provide me with a guesstimate of 
what a given boat might cost in 2007--when the actual cost is not 
immediately available.

It is simplistic, for sure, but it's better than having no idea at all.
