Boat loading question

Good info Ryan, thanks. This is a reason I get so confused, your 21' is rated 10, my 24' is rated 9! This has got to be a government job.

Weird, my 95 Z212 is rated for 9...

You think you're confused, my 95 240 is also rated for 9! So you can carry as many folks as me but in a smaller boat, with an easier on gas 5.0. I think i'm getting hosed on this deal.

What a difference in capacities ! My 97 Z241 is rated for 12 people, or 2290 lbs, does this mean I can take 19 110lb women for a cruise ?

I hink you guys are wizzing on a dead tree. Trying to apply logic to anything controlled by the federal guvment.

Can I borrow you plate? Or maybe 8 of the 110lb women to stay legal?

Our '94 182 Barchetta is plated for 8 persons or 1095 lbs (497 kilos). (Not certain about the weight. That's from memory.) The "8 persons" seems like a lot. The 1095 lbs, not so much, but still... We had six on the boat last week: Four adults and two teens. My buddy and I estimated the passenger weight at about 700-750 lbs. We certainly could have fit two more on the boat, and I imagine she'd have handled the additional 300 lbs.
