missing occupancy tag

[racersquirrel]

Just bought this boat last month. We are missing the occupancy tag. Does anyone know the max in persons and weight for a '76 Wellcraft Nova 210? I have looked in owners manuals, forums, etc., and just can't find anything other than "look at your tag", well, I would if I could. :facepalm: If anyone has any idea, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you checked with Wellcraft? Their records may not go back that far, but it may be worth a shot.

Having same issue with a 1985 180 Fisherman. I e-mailed wellcraft but have yet to get a response. good luck, had same issue with a Proline too. Seems like you have better luck finding gold than a replacement sticker.

I once saw a coast guard formula for figuring number of people. I guess you can do an average weight per person. Total length in feet multiplied by total beam in feet divided by 15. Probably best to use numbers like 21feet x 8feet / 15 So your 21 foot wellcraft would come out to 11.2 people.

What do you want the tag for? it seems that in some states at least my state doesn't require the tag on boat that are 20' and over. worth looking into. That formula above mentioned found at a number of websites. look for "capacity Plate formula" in a search. try this link: http://www.boatus.org/onlinecourse/ReviewPages/BoatUSF/Project/info1a.htm
