1958 Starcraft Jupiter

I am working on my 1958 Starcraft Jupiter and I would like to get a new weight sticker printed. The original is long gone. I know the brochure for that boat stated 6 person capacity and a 70hp motor but it doesnt list a max weight. Anyone have any remote idea what that may be?

My best guess would be 850 lbs boat motor and persons.

Assuming they were using 150lbs as a person, 6 people is already more than 850. But I dont know what they considered a persons weight in 1958...I know modern stickers list 150.

I think it’s always been 150lbs. My 1966 StarCraft is

Thanks for the info. Is yours listed as Passengers*150=Max Weight or is there wiggle room? Some of the stickers ive seen have more weight then the passenger count.

It says 4 passangers at 150 lbs or 700lbs combined as I recall But then like 935 including the motor. I have a Holiday 14 so one size smaller than a Jupiter I think

People vs Weight whichever is reached 1st. If 3 people max out the weight then 3s the # of people safely aboard.

That was what I was looking for. I can assume since it is 6 passengers, its 6 persons or 900 lbs combined weight (with motor, equipment, etc)
