Boat capacity label missing

[scryle205]

New to iboats and have a question. I am refurbishing a Riviera Cruiser and can find anything telling me the capacity of the boat or the other specifications. Does anyone know where I might find them. Its an 82 model is all I know.

Thanks! Ours is a 20ft and has a 90hp motor on it which probably isn't the original.

Pennsylvania and USCG Regulations;

A capacity plate is required on all monohull (single hull) boats, less than 20 feet in length, designed to
carry two or more persons and propelled by machinery or oars as their main source of power.
Boats exempt from having to display a capacity plate include pontoon boats sailboats, canoes,
kayaks, inflatables, hydroplanes, personal watercraft, and boats considered by the Commission
to be of unusual or unique design.

Your pontoon likely never had a capacity plate.

I've had a couple of Crest boats of that vintage or maybe a little older, and those plates are/were located on the console? If that's been replaced, the plate is likely gone...

Just check with your state, some states have laws/rules on capacity plates that are stricter than the Coast Guard rules.
