The capacity rating of my little boat says 3 persons or 540 pounds, and I?m probably going to answer my own question here, but if I were to put 2 adults and 2 small children in that boat, total weight of the people on board would be about 425 pounds or so, give or take, I?m probably asking for trouble with 4 people on board huh?

Re: Capacity rating

I think you are taking a chance if the law decides to check you out. Mine does not have a max amount of people, 900lbs max.

Not sure but I think the answer is 3 persons means three not two and two halves.:)

Boy watching that party heat show makes you wonder if that plate means anything at all though.

Re: Capacity rating

the party heat show, those guys have to many problems, to worry about the small stuff. it also shows the lack of respect of the authorities. a prime example of Operator Certification.
