Actually their website says 297kg hull weight so who knows?

Allowing 250kg for the trailer, that's about 500kg for boat and motor.

So all up when did the test WoT how far off is the 650kg total gross weight on the water out by do u recon?
Can then enter accurate hull co efficient data into the data base.

Cool.. Im happy with that...
The hull has little higher drag co efficient than I expected.. around 15 points lower (48 if dont re calculate for the slip below)

 And throw in that you have rather a high slip @ WoT 14%..
Ideally would be around the 5% which would give you another 3.5 mph WoT.

The corrected increase in slip would give you a 4000 rpms cruise around the 23/24 mph.

When you say "....fully trimmed up..."
Do you mean the engine is fully trimmed up. \or fully trimmed up for THAT speed...just before ventilation/ bow porpoising?
 If over trimmed  (fully up) that will cause excessive slip.
  Ideally The motor should be mounted at an angle so one can over trim @ WoT a little.
 Mine I ventilate just below 1/2 trim.. if was to the book It would not be quite so sensitive at the ventilation point..
 In saying that it is a general use boat not a race boat looking for the extra 1/2 a knt

 This does illustrate just how critical it is to sort slip correctly, espec  before sorting pitch.

One disadvantage of rotomoulded boats is the relatively high drag as they go through the water. Not an issue at moderate speeds.

Another example of one is always learning..
Gone back of data of some smart waves and they also show similar weight bigger than should be.

Why would molded boats have a higher hull friction constant?
Alloys/ glass are all very similar other than a couple makes of alloy stand out a little.

I'm not sure. But it was sure true for mine. It might be that the material has a bit more flex in it. My one also had a bit of fuzz on the plastic.

As to the weight issue, that's usually the single biggest thing. The hull material for the SW3500 is 6mm thick with a full foam fill. The 4200 has 9mm I believe, also with foam. All dimensions being equal, plastic bends  a lot more easily than wood, glass or Aluminium. 

The Youngs modulus of stiffness for plastic is about 1GPa. Wood is usually about 12GPa, a typical woven mat glass layup a little less. Aluminium is 69GPa. So the hull needs to be thicker to give similar stiffness. And hence more heavy.

How accurate would the 250kg for the trailer be.. that a guesstimate at best?
 Been doing a bit of rough calc.. even with such diff in drag numbers, and also considering that it is onlt the surface area that is in contact with the water (the stern 1/2 or less @wot)
Still not having numbers add up.
 Which then leaves as far as I can see actual the trailer weight.
 And also considering how easy it is to lift these when they dont back up easy where you want... and how even larger trailers are reasonably easy to jump..

 Have been looking down several boat trailers, manufactures (off shore) and similar seemed consistent around 300 to 400lbs... around 150 to 180kg

Been eying up used 4200 hulls, so I could add the centre console myself and potentially a new trailer, saving some cost on a new 4200CC package. 

The 4200 really handles the water well compared to the 3500imo, pushing the water out.

I had the centre console priced and the chillybin seat they use can also be bought from other sites, being a quality US brand.

But I just never had a 4200 hull come through at a decent price to make it worthwhile.

So Im stoked to read what you have done as its regathered my interest, boat prices fall during winter so Im in no rush but in saying that there is a lot of spearfishing Im not doing without a boat.

We trying to fit the build in for under $15k, thats why sourcing a hull cheap was important. There are many ways to get this done.

Thanks for posting.

Slip is high , need bigger diameter/ grip.
 Watch trademe...most are over priced never move.. like most of the boats..

took it out yesterday in 15 gusting 20+kts on a short sharp chop heading straight into the wind and was very pleased with its performance, wot skipping across the tops of the waves and very stable in the swell

took a week off to fish and mess around on the water, stayed the night on my smartwave on a mooring at kawau island with a tarp over the console was a great little adventure. scored a decent kingi on a @kaveman .icro jig
