Sailboat Motor Electric Calculator
In the context of boats, displacement refers to the weight of the volume of water that the hull displaces when it is placed in the water. To calculate displacement, you should consider the boat’s fully loaded weight, which includes:
- Full crew and passengers
- All normal ship’s stores and gear
- Two-thirds of the fuel and water tanks’ capacity
- Two-thirds of the cargo being carried

Additional Notes
- The provided calculator is designed specifically for displacement boats and may not be suitable or applicable to other types of boats or hull designs
- While the calculator has proven to be valuable to many users, it is important to recognise that it proves only an approximation
- Users often find that operating their boats at maximum motor output is rarely necessary. This understanding effects the calculations and estimation related to the duration of their boat’s performance
- The calculation in this calculator were developed based on the research and expertise of Dave Gerr, as presented in his book “Propeller Handbook: The Complete Reference for Choosing, Installing, and Understanding Boat Propellers.”
