Weight and Passenger capacity

[tonynoriega2]

Would you guys have insight into the weight and passenger capacity of my 16' Alumacraft boat?

Optimally I would like to take the wife and 4 kids out on it for the maiden voyage....

But before I do that...

Probly to many for that rig but depends on the age and size of the children.

If its 16' long times 5' wide divided by 15 then the people capacity is 5 people or 800 lbs max people, fuel, and gear. they figure 150lbs per person and the length times width divided by 15 is 5.3. You round number of people down but multiply it before rounding by 150 for total max weight.
