Hi Travis,

well, it weighs a lot :-) In fact, it’s something about 850 to 900 kilograms. The metric ton is 1000kg, but if I’m right, the imperial unit “ton” should be a little bit more than 900kg (2000lbs).

Actually I’m pretty sure an imperial ton is 2240lbs, but it’s still a remarkable MOC.

A US ton is 2000 lbs.

(...) Yeah that's just a bit more confusion that imperial measures brought us. It's all explained (URL). Good think all the sensible countries are moving to metric ;) ROSCO (15 years ago, 6-Jun-09, to lugnet.boats, FTX)
