    To take the load of 3000 kg (822 kg+655 kg+deck weight of 1523 kg):
    1. What will be the approximate Length (L), Breadth (B) and draught (T) of the boat?
    2. What will be the Weight (W) of the hull to bear the load?

    Please suggest your values. Your experience will be of great help. I would be grateful to you. Thanks in advance.

    You probably need to choose at least 2 of your 3 dimensions.

    Your structural support needs to be considered. Overall weight before hull, supports, I guess power plant does not matter?

    The basic is volume below water line.

    Length 40'
    Beam 5'
    Draught at waterline 2'

    would yield 64 pounds times 400 cubic feet = about 12.8 tons.

    If I did my math right.

    But part of your hull will be different shape, weight of hull, etc.
