[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 512845, member: 35394"] Is it safe to assume the weight rating is as the boat came from the factory? With floors, console, seats etc? Or would the rating be for the hull only? I just double checked and the rating is "1600 lbs persons Motor & Gear" 7 people max. Engine is ~220 + 12 gallons of fuel ~90 lbs + extra gear coolers beer and random stuff 400 lbs. Max = 710 lbs that still gives me 890 lbs for passengers, assuming my floors and interior don't count against in my weight capacity. I don't know how this boat came out of the factory but I assume what I am doing to it has a similar weight as it did originally. Maybe 100 heavier as I am using 3/4" ply I don't think I want to go any heavier than 220 for my engine. The Honda BF50 is 215 lbs I think that would be perfect for this boat. [/QUOTE]
