: Just about done with the Sissy-do. Starting to really worry. I plan on loading about 500# into her on a regular basis. BUT I will need to load 725 to 750# people, motor and gear into her during duck season. The 500# does not concern me, but that 750# sure does! This boat will only be used on small rivers and 50 acre or less lakes, so waves are not a factor. Have I built the wrong boat? Boat was built exactly to the plans, so there is no extra hull wieght to be concerned about. Any help would be appreciated.
This website has the information you need to determine the maximum safe load and maximum persons capacity for your boat. It's in pdf format, so you'll need the Acrobat reader to open it.
