Depending on the distribution of the passengers and their gear, the boat may sit lower in the water or tilt slightly. It's important for passengers to load evenly to maintain stability and prevent capsizing. Proper loading techniques enhance safety and ensure a smooth ride.

In a small aluminum boat, passengers should be seated with weight evenly distributed to maintain balance and stability. Heavier individuals should sit towards the center of the boat, while lighter passengers can be positioned towards the bow or stern. It’s crucial to avoid overcrowding one side to prevent capsizing. Additionally, all passengers should remain seated while the boat is in motion for safety.
