new Mfg weight limitations
Anyone notice on the Newr boats that the weight restrictions, now include gear and ballast.
should have snapped a pic but my 12 XLV states 16 ppl or 2300 lbs of gear and ballast. Hmnn.
I have that with two 750's and a 1200 in the basement...
I guess with the popularity of surfing the OEM decided to add this limit.
with the reversible pumps we can drain "steath" when the Po po comes around through the bottom.
No ballast here i say.....all empty seeA Day at the Lake...Priceless

my '08 says something to the effect of an "all-in" weight including gear and people. Doesn't mention ballast specifically though.

Same as above, mine shows people or weight. Like i give a chit LOL.
I prefer 5 people and 3K ballast LOLMalo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

My 2001 Outback reads "Persons, Gear, Ballast"

I think mine reads something like "crew and crap"

mine says "if you have to look at this sticker to see if your boat is overloaded, pick your least favorite guest and tell them to take a long walk off a short pier"

If you're worried, take it off. It's only there to be used against you.

How many people ever get ticketed for that as long as you are under the persons limit??? I mean really, I have never been asked by the game warden how much weight I had on board... Usually they just want to see life jackets, fire extinguisher ect

I just thought it was interesting that it said ballast on it my 07 did not.
we have a thread a while ago that argued these points, i really don't care just thought it was something new...A Day at the Lake...Priceless
