Read the numbers in context
Start with the hard constraint: storage, davit rating, passenger load, local fleet or working duty. A longer boat is not automatically more useful, and maximum horsepower does not describe how comfortably the engine can be lifted, serviced or carried.
Hull weight is the empty published figure. For a davit installation, add the outboard, fuel, battery, anchor, safety equipment, wheels and lifting gear with the davit load calculator. Capacity and power figures should always be confirmed for the exact Australian configuration.
What the fit scores mean
Fit scores help organise a shortlist; they are not performance tests. The same hull can make sense as a fishing dinghy and be a poor yacht tender once lifting weight is considered. Read the published scoring method, then open each model page for its family, alternatives and evidence notes.
