The boat weighs the same as the 3 cubic meters of water displaced.
The density of water depends a little on temperature and what's dissolved in it, but approximately, a cubic meter of water weighs one metric tonne ... so the boat weights approximately three tonnes.
how do i check if a boat has been in an accident? I am buying a used boat and want to make sure it has not been in an accident.

On Gilligan's Island, the professor could make a radio out of a coconut. Why couldn't he fix the hole in the boat?

The capatin orders,"Drop anchor!!" Would you follow when a giant octupos - with its tentacles at the portside - is stalking your ship?

For those that don't use the metric system, it's about 6614 lb. or 3.31 short tons.

One of those times when you can see how good the metric system is

That is, it had better not weigh more than that if it hopes to float.

Aminor's right. The question assumes the boat is floating. If it's on the bottom, we just know it weighs over 3 tonnes.

The question states "boat", not submarine, wreckage, man-made reef, or navigational hazard.
