I'm in a negotiation to purchase a 2013 240 Sundeck. The manual says 10 people as a maximum capacity. However, the on board builders plate says 11. Which is it? Thanks.

My 280DA says, 10 people + stuff = 1,180kg(2,596lbs)
Question
On all the cruises I have seen there is black or blue bottom paint then white or other colour fiberglass. I was always under the impression that you never loaded the boat so the bottom paint was completely submerged. Is this correct.

My 270 has Yacht Certification, the 280 does not?

Yes it is, but 'Yacht Certification' is not a replacement for capacity labels if they exist, or capacity recommendations that might be in an Operators Manual. It is also not a free pass for what might otherwise be seen as improper loading or reckless operation through the eyes of LEO.My 270 has Yacht Certification, the 280 does not?

Nothing to do with capacity of people
Once I had run one tank to almost empty. The other had 1/4 I wanted to see what fuel capacity was on the almost empty tank. I filled the 1/4 full tank and went out. Boat was extremely unstable. I returned and filled the almost empty tank. Point is boats are designed to run with an even load. If you have a lot of people on a boat and they move around it can be a problem.
