: ...
: David Zimmerly assumed a 150 lbs displacement which would put bottom of the
: jaws about 1" above the waterline, but since the original boat weighs
: 44 lbs, this assumes a 105 lbs paddler. I don't know how much your average
: Aleut weighs, but the typical modern paddler is significantly more and the
: boat should be scaled accordingly.

I think Zimmerly assumed a 150 lbs man seated 355 cm from the bow,
giving a displacement at the DWL of 150+44 = 194 lbs. I'm going off
of the lines given in the link below (PDF file).

BTW... Thanks, Nick. That's a ton of work.

Zimmerly's lines of MAE 593-76
