What is the maximum crew and weight for a Fishing Pontoon?

• A. 11/1,705LBS
• B. 10/1,450LBS
• C. 3/785LBS
• D. 4/1,600LBS

Answer: (A)

Capacity plates show two numbers: the maximum number of people (crew) the boat can carry and the maximum weight in pounds allowed on board. For this Fishing Pontoon, the plate indicates up to 11 people and a total weight limit of 1,705 pounds. That means you can have up to 11 occupants as long as the combined weight of all people and gear stays at or below 1,705 pounds. When planning, count everyone on board and estimate their weight, then add the weight of all gear, tackle, coolers, batteries, fuel, and any other items. If the total would exceed 1,705 pounds, you must reduce either the number of people or the gear to stay within the limit. Staying within both numbers keeps the boat stable, afloat, and compliant with safety standards.
