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.

If your boat doesnt have a capacity plate how do you estimate ho many people can be in it if its less than then 20 feet?

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.
