what does a 14 foot boston whaler dauntless weigh?

There's no actual measurement to differentiate the size because it's relative if you're comparing the two, for the most part. A ship should be big enough to carry a boat and a boat should be small enough to be carried by a ship. An example - think of a cruiseship that has the lifeboats on the side. Also, a ship can do everything a boat can except move by paddles and oars. that would leave movement by motor (battleships, etc.) or sail (Pirates of the Carribean, etc.).

Usually, a 'boat' is any vessel that can be carried aboard a larger vessel (like a lifeboat). Thus, if a vessels is too large to be carried aboard another, larger vessel, it is referred to as a 'ship'. One notable exception to this is submarines, which are universally referred to as 'boats'. The mode of propulsion definition doesn't quite fit in all cases (think of a Greek trireme, which was rowed by it's crew, but was most definitely a ship).
