To calculate the maximum number of people allowed on a boat less than 20 feet, you can use the U.S. Coast Guard's formula, which suggests one person for every 2 feet of boat length. Therefore, for a boat under 20 feet, the maximum capacity would typically be 10 people. However, always refer to the boat's capacity plate, as it provides specific limits based on design and safety considerations.
Multiply boat length (in feet) by boat width (in feet), then divide by 15.
If your boat doesn't have a capacity plate, a general guideline for estimating the number of people it can safely carry is to allocate about 150 pounds per person. Additionally, you can use the formula of 2 persons per each foot of boat length for boats under 20 feet. So, for a 16-foot boat, it could safely carry around 4 to 6 people, depending on their combined weight and the boat's design. Always ensure that the total weight, including gear, does not exceed the boat's maximum weight capacity.
Lake Erie - 210 feet maximum. Lake Huron - 770 feet maximum. Lake Michigan - 923 feet maximum. Lake Ontario - 808 feet maximum. Lake Superior - 1,332 feet maximum.
proceed at slow no wake speed
Just divide a boat's sail area in square feet by its wetted surface area in square feet (SA/WS = SA ÷ WS),
Canals boat are 10 feet long and 6 feet wide.
proceed at slow-no-wake speed
to calculate square feet you need a 2d shape
Feet?

Thats like asking how big is a building. A fishing boat can be a few feet long to hundreds of feet long.
600 yards for a ship and 400 yards for a boat or 1800 feet for a ship and 1200 feet for a boat
