My 2003 390 says gross tonnage 22.
as others have said, use whatever was on the original documentation. If you change anything but the ownership and the name of the boat you're opening yourself up for a paperwork nightmare. Those were the words used by the broker during the purchase.

Up here in Canada on our 2003 Gross Tonnage 12.50 Net Registered Tonnage 6.41 Canadian Certificate of registryRecently purchased a 390 Mainship 2003. Working on Coast Guard Documentation. Can someone advise what their certificate states for gross tonnage and net tonnage? An old form showed 22 GRT and 18 NRT. Is this correct? Thank you so much.
I could believe gross of 22, but not net. Not that it really matters...
Tonnage is cargo carrying capacity. Gross is measured form the hull, Net is measured from the volume of the cargo spaces. Even with Gross Tonnage, In no way is Mainship 390 hull volume capable of carrying 44,000 lbs.
