Crabber ballast

[andyasj]

Does anyone know how much ballast is in the MkI and MkII Crabbers (I dont mean the new Crabber 24). I believe the MkI has a 600lb centreplate plus 1100lb ballast. Can anyone confirm this. What does the MkII have?
I am interested since I am considering upgrading a MkI to a MkII which had taller rig and more ballast.
Cheers

According to my records, there is 300lb in the center plate and 1100lbs in the bilges on the MK 1 crabbers, in the MK 2 an extra 500lbs was added to the internal ballast. Hope this helps
