Oh, I love these technical discussions with decimal points and points of law, but, notwithstanding the manufacturers capacity rating, the buoyancy factor, or the Dallas cheerleaders, the single most important consideration concerning how many people can go in a specific boat is COMMON SENSE by the operator. Laws are there for some purpose, the technical details are there for some purpose, but common sense is the bottom line (as long as you don't exceed the law).
