This might be a dumb question but is there a way to increase the weight capacity of an aluminum boat? Reason I ask is because i have a little 12' boat that I would like to be able to run 800 - 1000lbs but it is rated at 600lbs.
I see there is foam below the aluminum bench seats and I keep wondering if that was to increase buoyancy (I'm correlating buoyancy and weight capacity of the hull) or merely used as a cheap stabilizer for the otherwise pliable aluminum.
I am not worried about the legality stuff here - just safety.
Thoughts on this?
