Weight Of Ty W/E

2,000 lbs plus the weight of what you place in the boat.

i.e. anchor, chain, battery(ies), tools, outboard motor, fuel tank(s), etc.

The displacement weight includes the ballast

Weight includes the ballast.

When you say "Displacement weight includes the ballast," you're being redundant again.
