The mystery of the weight

According to Sailboat Data Koan is supposed to displace just under 5,000 lbs. During the haul I asked for the weight on the crane, and it was 7,000 lbs. They confirmed that they've compared the crane to a super-accurate measurement used for one-designs and it was within 20 lbs (though I suppose the error is a percentage of weight, so without knowing what they were weighing I can't estimate the error in our case).

Any ideas? What could possibly weigh an extra 2,000 lbs?!
