Brings to mind that line from Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come."

Um...am I to understand from the specs above ("living space") that this is *not* a functional scale model, but one which is actually intended to be operated as an inhabited recreational vessel?

It is pretty darn cool. Hell, I'd be proud if I could build a rowboat, let along a 110' motor vessel.

Watching this man on TV : it's fantastic to realise how a crazy and personal dream can merge so many people around him. (Like Forrest Gump).
His neighborhood isn't even spiteful after years of din.

But the Displacement is the actual total weight of the ship.
If the density of the water varies,(warm, cold, fresh, salt) what changes is how far the ship settles into the water. But, the weight of the water displaced will always equal the weight of the ship. Because Archimedes wouldn't lie to us, his oldest and dearest friends, I've no idea what they meant by the two weight figures.

It must be that when they take it on the ocean, the sea anchors they have to take along weigh an extra 6 tons.
