Do not exceed the USCG certified maximum capacities under
any circumstances. Overloading will reduce freeboard and
increase the likelihood of swamping, especially in heavy seas.
Overloading causes handling to become sluggish making it
hard to react quickly.
Overpowering outboard powered craft is extremely dangerous.
Overpowering will make the boat unstable and could cause
loss of helm control. Failure to maintain control could result in
severe injury or death.

Capacity
Boats up to 26’ in the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)
program have a maximum rated load capacity, which is stated on the certifi-
cation plate (if equipped). The person/load capacity is determined by vari-
ous USCG formulas. Actual capacity is determined by the availability of
proper seating on the boat. Acceptable seating determines the number of
passengers, not the overall load capacity.
