How do you figure out the est. weight for people/gear if you don't have a manufacture plaque. Is it some thing like length x something divided by ???????

Re: Weight Capacity

That's how the CG figures the max hp, 2X the length X the width -90 . Don't know how they figure the weight limit. How big is your boat maybe I can find out.

Mabe this will help. I was just reading about this today.<br /><br /> http://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/ratedHP.html <br /><br />Its a whaler site but has good information<br /><br /> <br />The 16ft Almar Lite was rated for 60HP But yours sounds a lot heavier than their Lite series.<br /><br />Hope this helps a little<br /><br />Link
