It is possible to edit weight and budget. For that you need.

-a memory editor like [REDACTED].

-Load your game, go to the ship builder and do the ship you want without taking care of budget and weight.
-Launch the memory editor select the game process make the research of float value for the weight. It will find alot of them. so go back to game and change one stuff on the ship to alter the weight . Go back to memory editor and refine the search with the new weight and voilà you have the memory slot of your ship weight. Just place it back under the weight limit
-For budget do the same search Float value like 20000000 for 20 millions it will find 2 to 8 lines just edit each of them to reflect the value you want. Et voilà, increased budget.

Remember.

1 each time you will edit your ship the game will recalculate the value so you have to go back into memory editor and change it again to fit the limit. Once you are ready to get on sea just click one piece of equipment like propeller or boiler or amunition amount without changing it it will refresh memory and get the edited value.

2 Beware with budget as once your ship is ready the game compare your budget and the ship price creating X ship until it reaches your budget so be realistic dont put too high or you will have tens of ships and surely will crash the game...

It seems the game does another check before launch on weight. Freezing the value doesn't help. Let me know if you have any luck getting the game to launch with an altered weight.

It used to work just fine...you would locate the values for weight and cost, and once you finished building your ship, you changed the values in the mem editor and then clicked on one of the modules (like say aux engine) and then clicked off without selecting anything (it would reload the correct values if you made ANY changes, even if that change was just selecting the module already mounted again). The new patch seems to have broken it somehow, I havent been able to get it to work how it did before. I'm going to play around with it a bit and see if i cant figure out a way to make it work again.
