[Paddlewise] weight of boats?

To the group:

My question is. 1. a boat has so much displacement in fresh water does
it have the same in salt water. 2. If this displacement is not the same
then how do you know how much weight can the boat hold. If you get use
to the boat in fresh water is it harder to get use to it in salt water.
If you demo a boat in salt water will it feel slower in fresh water. Can
you pack more in a boat that is going in salt water. I know that the
specific weight is different then salt water than fresh water, is this a
big difference or just in my mind
