I just bought a 15 ft. Alweld flat bottom boat to use for duck hunting. I'm going to put a 25 horse outboard on it. It's rated for 395 lbs., but I was wondering just how much weight this boat can handle before it gets unsafe. I mean I weight about 240 and would want to take a buddy and my dog, which would probably put our total around 500 lbs. Do they under rate the tag they put on these for their liability reasons or will this thing get close to sinking at the 400 lb mark? Please advise or share your experiences with boat weight limit ratings?<br />Thanks.
