Skin-on-Frame: yost's paddler weight/ displacement

Hello all,

I am failing to understand some info in Tom Yost's website.
The plans states the displacement of the Sea Ranger is 200 LB
but the text says the maximum paddler weight is 200 LB .

My common (?) sense says the displacement includes everything:
paddler, boat, & equipment, so my question is which of the 2 statements
are correct ?
200 LB just for the paddler ?
or for everything ?

Thanks in advance,

Erez
