[QUOTE="Mad Dog 2, post: 522740, member: 35614"] The floatation calculation is based on: - Load capacity of boat ("max weight" on HIN tag)? - Or based on the amount floatation needed to float the [U]empty[/U] hull level with max rated outboard? - Or some other criteria of the USCG? A lot of boats are missing part or all the original floatation that they had when the boat left the factory. Also the floatation is not always placed to prevent the boat from turning "Turtle" when swamped or flooded. Had a friend whos boat was swamped on calm day at a inlet by a rogue wave. He and his young passenger spent a hour or so before being rescued off the bottom of the boat. [/QUOTE]
