Re: Capacity of my boat
On larger boats it's more about stability than it is flotation (which is the issue on smaller boats). Which also means that lake conditions also dictate the max passengers. If you want a good read on the subject, there's the NTSB (or USCG?) report on the 31' Silverton that was overloaded in Long Island sound a couple years ago. Gives you some things to think about.
