You should get abou 80-85% yield on live to boiled factoring in dead taken out and water shrinkage from boiling.
So if you start with 100lbs live, you should get 80-85lbs boiled.

you're going to lose 11%.
This is from normal cooking, water weight, and a few dead ones that got crushed during delivery/holding.
This is totally different that if you get a bad/old sack that's full of dead crawfish, and end up throwing away significantly more.
Hope this helps.

So if he ignores and just buys the crawfish at 3.25-3.5 per person expecting to serve 3 he ends up right where he needs to be.
Say he has 30 people. Buys 105 pounds (of course that gets into the 3 sack range which can vary in weight of what you can get)
But that would yield right around 90 pounds and 3 pounds per.
Of course my figures do not include transporting them to Philly. I would factor in more of a die off (or just serve them with straight tails to the yankees they wont know the difference) lol
