Fit scores
Each score is True Kit's editorial score for that job, scaled by how well a 2.80 m hull suits it. A superb manufacturer still makes boats that are wrong for your job — the curve is what says so. How this is calculated.
Estimated ready-to-use weight: about 84 kg
Published hull weight is 31 kg. Our estimate adds a typical four-stroke outboard at maximum rating, a full portable fuel tank, anchor, rode, safety gear and a lifting bridle. It is an estimate, not a specification — but it is far closer to what your davits will carry than the brochure figure. See the full calculation.
