Re: Maximum capacity?

Mike,

The formula I found is L X W divided by 15.

That's 34 people (including one insane owner) for our boats !!! ...

And about 26 more people then I would ever want out sailing with me.

Mike.

Do you know what type of warranty they offer? Can you give me an estimate as to the size of the unit? Is the answer obvious if I ask whe...
