Isn't a USCG plate attached somewhere inside the hull with the max horsepower, weight and passenger ratings? If the fuel tank is under the deck, are any access hatches in the deck?

No USCG plate located anywhere.Also tanks is located in the floor and I have access to it . The capacities plate cant be seen . Removing console next step if all else fails.
Thanks for that Info

pretty rare vessell I see very short production run from the builder explains the lack of info
