can safely carry under normal conditions. It also states the
maximum person capacity in number of people and persons weight.
Weight Capacity
One of the most important safety aspects of operating the Lo Pro is
simply following the weight capacity. The listed total weight
capacity of each model includes all persons, motor and any gear
you have on-board. You should be aware that the total weight
capacity is based on equal distribution of weight on your boat.
Always try to balance out the weight on your Lo Pro as much as
possible, from front to back and side to side. Keep in mind that it is
better to put slightly more weight in the rear or back of the boat than
the front.
Overloading of boats is one of the major factors in marine accidents
and a violation of Coast Guard rules and regulations. Also, if you
loan your boat out to someone, you should make sure they are
experienced and knowledgeable about all the rules and regulations
associated with boating. No matter how big or small the waterway
is that you use your boat on, you should have a healthy respect for
the dangers of boating and always be aware of what is going on
around you.
CAUTION!
Overloading is a violation of U.S. Coast Guard
regulations.
The corner seats on the Lo Pro Floor Plans 1 & 3 have a weight
capacity of 175 lbs., as well as the swivel seats on Floor Plans 2 &
4.
Do not sit on the bow with legs or arms hanging from the boat. Do
not sit on fishing seats while the boat is moving faster than 5 MPH.
Do not sit on the rails, or furniture backs. Do not sit in the back entry
area while the boat is moving or the motor is running. Avoid
excessive weight at the bow of the boat as it can cause your boat to
nose dive underwater.
The operator of the boat is responsible for using common sense
and good judgment when loading the boat. If the waters are
turbulent, please use extra care.
CAUTION!
Boating conditions may require fewer occupants on
board than indicated on the capacity label.
