[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 91901, member: 1460"] Heres an opinion question for you. How much can a boat hold over its capacity rating in reality. I've seen a ton of people load their boats up with 100's of pounds more than what the boat it rated for and still float fine. I realize the capacity is a rating for flotation when swamped, but how does it compare to what you can safely carry on calm waters? I don't mean to start a battle of flotation safety and ethics, so lets keep that out of the discussion. We all realize its not necessarily "safe" to overload a boat, but I'm just curious as to what people have gotten away with, without the boat sitting much lower in the water. 8) [/QUOTE]
