The weight limit is the same. The coast guard upped their "per person" weight from 150 per person to about 220 per person, so the number of 'persons' is lower now for the same overall weight. I was told about this in the Boating Skills course given by my local floatilla. The average american is no longer anywhere near 150lbs and the coast guard has adjusted their standards.

Wow, no kidding - that's for reporting that. So that brings the capacity of my '92 mod-V 2520 down to 8 people from 12. Wonder how the insurance companies will rule given this new requirement :?: ?channel_surfer":o73mn77s said:
No kidding! I have to travel a bit for work, throughout the EU and 99 times out of 100, any really FAT person is from the US ... and they usually end up getting the seat on the plane next to me

Dang! The average occupant on my boat is well under 150lbs as generally my wife and I are the only one over 150lbs. (I have 3 kids and sometimes a friend or two)

Let's see:
December 2005 at the CBBT. Left to right
BIL little guy 5'4", about 160
Me in blue shirt, 5'9", about 200
Nephew 6'3", about 245
Pops 6'3" about 230
My son taking the picture is 6'3", about 215.
Thats 1050 pounds of crew and who knows how much cold weather gear, 200 pounds?
Five grown men in cold weather gear is a wee bit crowded on a 2320.
