So is the Bennington's passenger capacity 11 or 13?

[goldnrod24]

What's up with this? The 2010 Bennington catalog states that the passenger capacity of a 2275RLi is 13 people. The yellow sticker at the helm of the actual boat says 11.

What's with the difference? Wrong sticker? Wrong catalog?

Depends on which package it comes with. Different packages have different logs and capacities.

Correct, we offer so many options it would be impossible to list them all in the catalog, a highly optioned boat weights more so you can have less people on it.

Also that is a weight rating, it gives a specific weight so if your freinds are really small you could get more and if they all go 340 then less, they probably have an arbitrary number, say 180lbs per person to figure the people but obviously people sizes vary greatly.

That 180 is a good number for average people; I usually use 200 as a design point and let the extra 10% or so add up as a safety margin.
