Maximum Capacities

In compliance with United States Coast Guard Regulations,

Supra Boats meet or exceed all safety standards designed for

recreational boats. To ensure safe handling and performance,

each Supra boat displays a maximum capacity sticker (see

sample), stating the maximum total weight load allowable.

NOTICE: Refer to the Maximum Capacity Sticker on your

boat for allowable loading.

Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the boat.

The United States Coast Guard boating regulations prescribe

minimum standards of safety to be met and maintained by all

watercraft. It is necessary that your boat remain in compliance

with these regulations.

The staff at Skier’s Choice, Inc. recommend that all boat

operators complete a Coast Guard approved boating safety

course.
