Survey watch points

Draft labeled 2'10" vs 3'9" without motors-up/down clarity

high risk · unresolved · documentation

OEM publishes Hull Draft Motors Up 2'10" and Motors Down 3'9". Some 2021 reviews list only 2'10"/34" (sometimes as Draft max), while Power & Motoryacht lists 3'9".

Canonical draft_ft uses OEM motors-down 3.75 ft as the conservative maximum, with draft_ft_min 2.83 (motors up). Do not collapse the two OEM datums into one unlabeled number.

Confirm prop/engine down draft for the delivered lower-unit configuration before shallow-water planning; treat single unlabeled draft figures as ambiguous.

Dry weight 26,519 vs ~23,600 lb across sources

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Current OEM Quad 450 brochure/performance sheet publish approx./average dry weight 26,519 lb, while 2021 editorial specs publish about 23,600 lb dry for Quad 425 packages.

Canonical dry_weight_lb keeps current OEM Quad 450 26,519. The 23,600 figure remains conflict evidence for earlier 425-era coverage.

Verify loaded displacement and engine package on survey; do not treat 23,600 and 26,519 as interchangeable.

Fuel capacity 518 vs 547 US gal across sources

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Current OEM Quad 450 brochure/performance sheet publish 518 US gal net fuel capacity, while 2021 press/tests publish 547 gal for the earlier Quad 425 package.

Canonical fuel_capacity_us_gal keeps the current OEM Quad 450 sheet value 518. Do not average with 547.

Confirm tank placard/capacity for the specific hull and whether the boat is a 425-era or 450-era build before planning range.
