How did someone get an H25 documented? By all my experience with documenting boats, the H25 is too small (cannot displace five tons without sinking). I already looked into it. Anyone have a clue how this can be done?
JCII,
I researched this subject since I may want to renew the documentation. There is a formula involved which essentially takes into account the hull volume, not it's load capacity. It's a government thing for taxation purposes. They don't care if it sinks you as long as you pay the taxes on your cargo volume.
I have not made the calculation yet myself so I don't know if it was done in error, but for sure this was my number and it once was a currently documented boat.
