[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 426475, member: 15266"] Being a 16' boat, it won't have much that you can load it with. What is the beam width of that boat? Here is the USCG calc. factors for people and weight: Number of people = vessel length (ft.) x vessel width (ft.) ÷ 15 For example, for a vessel 18 feet long by 6 feet wide, the number of persons is 18 times 6 (or 108) divided by 15, which equals seven 150-lb. persons (or a total person weight of 7 x 150, or 1050 lbs.). That being said, I am ASSUMING that your beam is around 5': (16 X 5) / 15 = 5.3 That would be 5.3 people @ 150lbs. each or 795 lbs. To make it trickier, they recently (since people are getting larger) have decided the average persons weight is 150lbs., but before that it was 134lbs. per person. All that being said, my vote (if you have a 60" beam) is that you may safely place 5 people, or 795lbs. people, motor and gear. Real world scenario: 25hp engine: 115lbs. 6 gals gas: 36 lbs. 2 batteries: 100lbs. Trolling motor: 35 lbs. Cooler: 50 lbs. Leaves you with 459lbs. for people. (Perfect for two-three guys, not sure you'd be comfortable with any more than that anyways.) [/QUOTE]
