Default Boat weight?

Some time ago someone posted a web site you could get the weight of a boat.
Does anyone know what it is?

Hi all, try www.going-to-sink.com

Take the new dry weight of the boat and then add 6.5 LB per gal of
gas.

Now add 100 LB per seat cushion per year for moister absorption.

Then add 1000 LB if the boat has a carpet and it rained last night.

That's why off shore boats have one tiny seat cushion and no carpet
;-)

Later, DC

Hi all, seriously I think I better post a real link so I don't get
people mad at me.

www.nadaguides.com has used boat weights as well as retail selling
price.
