Survey watch points

Approx weight OEM 26,660 lb vs editorial 25,200 lb

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Current Formula SSC OEM/S&O Approximate Weight is 26,660 lbs; BoatTEST Dry Weight and Boating Mag Displacement approx list 25,200 lb. Canonical dry_weight_lb keeps OEM 26660.

Canonical dry_weight_lb keeps current SSC OEM/S&O 26,660. Older editorial 25,200 figures remain conflicting; ASC weight was not transferred.

Do not substitute 430 ASC Approx Weight (OEM ASC page shows 27,540 lbs) for SSC.

Bridge clearance differs across OEM and editorial SSC sources

high risk · unresolved · documentation

Current Formula SSC OEM/S&O publish 11ft 9in mast-down and 13ft 6in mast-up; Boating Mag lists 11ft 7in mast-down; BoatTEST lists 12ft 6in max. Canonical air_draft_ft keeps OEM mast-up 13.5 ft.

Canonical air_draft_ft uses OEM/S&O mast-light-up 13.5 ft. Editorial bridge-clearance figures stay in evidence only.

Confirm mast-light and radar state when measuring air draft; do not mix ASC figures.

Draft OEM 41 in vs Boating Mag 3 ft 4 in

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Formula SSC OEM/S&O and BoatTEST publish draft 41 in / 3 ft 5 in; Boating Mag lists Draft (max) 3 ft 4 in. Canonical draft_ft keeps OEM 3.42 ft.

Canonical draft_ft keeps OEM/S&O 41 in (3.42 ft). Boating Mag 3’4″ is conflicting editorial.

Measure loaded/drive-down draft on the subject hull; ignore ASC-only numbers without SSC confirmation.

Quad 400R top speed OEM claim vs instrumented tests

high risk · unresolved · performance

2024 S&O claims Quad Verado 400R top speed 59-62 MPH; BoatTEST measured 64.2 MPH and Boating Mag 63.4 MPH on 400R packages. Canonical root top-speed envelope keeps OEM claim band across options; instrumented profiles stored separately.

Root top_speed_knots_* uses the 2024 S&O manufacturer claim envelope across published engine options. BoatTEST/Boating Mag 400R WOT figures stay in separate instrumented/editorial performance profiles.

Treat MPH→knots conversions and load/sea state as condition-sensitive; do not average OEM claim with instrumented WOT.

Water capacity OEM 56 gal vs BoatTEST 52 gal

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Current Formula SSC OEM page and 2024 S&O PDF publish Water Capacity 56 gal; BoatTEST SSC table lists 52 gal. Canonical keeps OEM 56.

Canonical water_capacity_us_gal keeps current OEM/S&O 56. BoatTEST 52 is conflicting editorial/table data for earlier SSC coverage.

Verify tank placard/capacity on the specific hull year; do not import ASC water without SSC confirmation.
