I typically do not serve live crawfish to my friends.
Why is it that you belive 1lb of live crawfish weighs any different than 1lb of boiled crawfish?
I get his question. If you're selling 100 lbs of boiled crawfish (weighed after being boiled), you may want to make sure there isn't a huge weight difference between pre-boiled and post-boiled.
I think the difference will be minimal, but will tilt to post-boil weighing more. Any difference in weight will be due to water absorption and anything added to the boil (lemons, onions, etc.) that will also be weighed with the crawfish while bagging or traying. Just do any calculations using live weight and you should be fine.

I just think if he is going to Philly to do a boil he needs to care more about how many straight tails he will serve than the exact weight.
You will never get the exact weight of crawfish. You always serve a few ounces more. So boil more than you need. If you need to provide 3 per person (way too much for yankees) then you plan on 3.25-3.5 per person some will be dead or go cold before you serve.
