Boat weight and complete weight
Also: empty weight, total weight
Boat weight means the hull only, complete weight means the ready-to-paddle boat with seat, backrest, mat and spray deck.
In comparison tables it pays to look closely: the Packrafting Store gives “boat only” without any removable parts and “complete” including seats, floor mats, thigh straps, spray decks and backrests. Inflation bag, straps and repair kit are included in neither value. Paddle, PFD and clothing come on top.
For realistic backpack planning we always calculate with the complete weight plus paddle.
