Asking the seller is the obvious answer, but it seems like a question that would have come up in the survey. You did have a survey, right?

Assuming there is a good reason for the 14 bags, the question would be why the PO used water softener salt instead of much less expensive sand or gravel?

If you really need the weight to make the boat handle properly, you may be able to use something that will serve a purpose other than just dead weight. A large house bank of batteries comes to mind. You would have to install and vent them properly, but at least you would get some use out of the weight.
