[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 432626, member: 9884"] The sticker on my 1752 Weldbilt says 7 people or 750 lbs...I guess those boats were designed to be used by children! No way 7 people will fit in there, and I've definitely had more than 750lbs in that boat (including the engine). I'm not saying you should ignore the weight rating, but sometimes they're not always accurate. Maybe load the boat up with some weight that will simulate 3 men and a child, and see how it handles on smooth water. Then use your own discretion to determine if you can safely handle the vessel under less than ideal conditions. [/QUOTE]
