And I have another question. The yellow load capacity limit warning label, located under or beside the drivers cockpit depending on your boat, generally has a limit on number of passengers OR weight. I take it to mean it's an either/0r type limit. That load is 2,500 lbs on my boat, and is generally in the 2,000 lb range on most. But if my boat can take on 4,000 lbs of ballast, how can the passenger load be limited to 2,500 lbs. Unless they are figuring it with you running the 4,000 lbs of ballast tanks full too. But then could I tell the DNR guy "Yeah man I know it says I can only have 2,500 lbs of people on here, and yes it's obvious the 18 people I have on here are all 200 plus lbs. But I don't have any water in my ballast, so I am safe. Don't give me a ticket."
