Both. Imagine one of those huge racing row boats that might be 40 feet long 
with a beam of maybe 18 inches vs. a big fat-butt Hunter 40.

It would depend more on flare above the waterline than beam.

Probably somewhat empirical number, but it has to change depending on the shape 
of the boat (the more beamy it is, the less it would sink with the same 
increase of weight), doesn’t it?

Swiped off the internet:

POUNDS PER INCH IMMERSION (PPI):
The weight required to sink the yacht one inch.
It is calculated by multiplying the LWL area by 5.333 for sea water or 5.2 for 
fresh.
The PPI usually increases as the hull sinks into the water as the LWL area is 
also increasing
due to the shape of the hull above water.
