I had my family visit from Texas this past 4th. I had the most people we ever had in the boat. 5 adult (2 men & 3 women), 1 kid and my 60lbs pooch. The boat struggled to get on a plane with around 1100lbs of people in the boat, until we moved someone from the aft jump seat to the bow. After that we were able to get up. I was impressed we were able to get up on a plane in that situation.Tubing went well w/ 4 adults, 1 kid, and 1 dog, before the last person arrived on the boat for fireworks. We didn't try tubing with that many people.

Regards,
