    Hello all

    I am looking for the Gross Tonnage for a Carver 3207. I need this for Coast Guard licensing purposes. I am not sure if I need "gross tonagge" or "gross registered tonnage (GRT).

    I understand that there is a formula to figure this out, but I was hoping there might be a Carver 3207 owner here that already knows this info. Thanks.

    If you want to be a licensed mariner how about taking this opportunity to learn the kind of stuff a licensed mariner should know or be able to do?

    It is not rocket science and is probably faster than waiting for someone else to do your homework for you.

    What you have found is the actual weight, there is a difference. Google it.

    I'm still curious what the tonnage of a Carver has to do with CG licensing.

    The tonnage Of the boat sea time has been accumulated will affect the tonnage of the USCG license you can get... Formula is 150% of tonnage you have the most experience on rouded to next level (25, 50, 100, 150, 200)

    Ex if most of your time is on a 32T boat, you will only get a 50T license (32 x 1.5 rounded up to the next level). If the boat 34T, you will get 100T

    So size does matter :)

    I bet the 25 ton ticket would be about twice the tonnage of that boat.

    My CSY 33 sailboat is 16 tons gross, 14 net and displaced 15,200 lbs at commissioning in 1979.

    Clearly weight (displacement) and tonnage are 2 different animals.

    These days my boat weighs in at 22,000 lbs, soo she has gained some weight over the years, just like the owner...;)

    One would think anyone going for a license would know that at least.

    As far as tonnage on such a small boat, who really cares? A 6-pack (OUPV) is good for up to 100 tons so unless someone just wants to have a ticket that says "master" on it what difference does it make?

    It makes a difference... Someone could have an OUPV and taken the master course/test. The CG719 sea time form includes a gross ton field which along with the Length, width and depth fields will be used to determine the final tonnage awarded

    And if you want to run any inspected vessel regardless of tonnage, an OUPV isn't enough. Or if you want to run a bareboat charter with up to 12 pax, you need a master
