1990 2000SL capacity plate location

[a70eliminator]

Hi, I was safety inspected by the Division of watercraft and could not find a capacity plate anywhere on this boat, at home carefully went over the interior looking for at least some vacant holes where it used to be and found zilch, anyone have a SL 20' footer that could verify where the capacity plate should be? and more importanly how am I to go about getting one? Thanks.

That plate may have just been a sticker. It was probably right next to the throttle handle. Possibly to the left of the steering wheel, or on the side of the helm station, where you would go into the bow. I am guessing Chaparral Boats is the one to get you a replacement?

That address and phone number are form 1997, so check for complete accuracy.

Same here, same boat. Not a sign it was ever there. Let us know what you find out.

"Boat builders must comply with Federal law by putting a Capacity Plate in sight of the helm (steering area) on motorized monohull boats less than 20 feet in length."

Chaparral rates our boats as 20' and would consider them exempt...

NADA also lists it as a 20 foot LOA..
