Capacity Placard

Post by Bobko »

I can’t find a capacity placard on my 31 TE. Does anyone know where to find it or know what the capacity is. A picture of one would be great

Hi Bobko --

Capacity plates are only required for boats 20' and under.

Well my 25' boat has a plate....

The US Coast Guard (USCG) provides a simple formula for calculating the maximum number of people a boat can safely carry, especially for smaller boats without a capacity plate. The formula is: Number of people = (Boat Length (ft) x Boat Width (ft)) / 15. This assumes an average person weight of 150 pounds.
