Default Freeboard in a Jon Boat

How can I determine, in advance, the freeboard in a 14' jon boat with
the following information?

1-Flat bottom, square front.
2-14' long, 70" beam, 21" side depth, 16" transom height.
3-Total capacity of persons and gear = 820 pounds.
4-Usual load of persons and gear = 475 pounds.
5-Small outboard motor = 50 to 70 pounds.

So, based on the above data, am I gonna see that water lapping at the
edges or not?
