I finally saw pictures of the boat. It is a travesty that this small
craft was rated for 50 passengers and two crew.

I should know this having been heavily involved with the Coast Guard
and vessel stability issues but it's slipped my mind. Does the USCG
have inspection jurisdiction over vessels on Lake George? I haven't
seen them mentioned in the news accounts.

USCG stability rules are pretty conservative although there are plenty
of vessels that are grandfathered, been modified post stability test,
or otherwise snuck into the system.
