[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 92230, member: 169"] Mine has a ton of freeboard. Once when I forgot water had weight *snicker* I had a 40 or so gallon livewell for herring, decks, battery and trolling motor, three people of 200# average and I couldn't tell visually that I was "overloaded". I still had way more freeboard than a lot of boats come with from the factory. I could feel a huge difference though trying to push the boat with the little 15 on the back, We were pushing water from the bow like an ice breaker. Needless to say I cut the lievewell down to about 8 to 10 gallons when I go for herring. My boats overall capacity is 995 persons, motor and gear. But I promise I could have 1,000# in there and it would lok and feel normal with the exception of thrust needed to manuever it. Having said that, I use the manufacturers reccomendations now that I have "been there and done that" with th stupidity. [/QUOTE]
