Title: Load capacity?
Post by: hotrodrob21 on November 26, 2017, 04:30:53 PM: I picked up a 73 nordic hull for a project. I noticed someone else's pic of an on info plate seemed low on capacity so I checked mine, only 202? Is there something missing there, code for something else, or am I too fat to even drive the boat by myself?

There is a formula by the U.S. Coast Guard that I've seen online.

Transom height, waterline, phase of the moon, color of the neighbors dog house, ex wife's shoe size, etc.

Google it.

Good luck.

Try this:

2003 BoatBuilder's Handbook | Safe Loading Section - USCG Boating Safety
PDFUSCG Boating Safety › builders-handbook

It's a PDF but the formula is there.

That's what I would expect to see, seems reasonable.

I agree...202 just seems odd... Something does not seem right
