I contacted a Maxum Dealer they told me 8 people 2130 weight 200 hp. She
also is sending me a form for a request for a new capacity plate.

I used the information she gave me to finalize the paperwork. I will
request a new plate. If it is in fact different ....that will be the next
saga.

This group is great I look forward to boating and spending sometime learning
and reading here!..Thank you all I appreciate it greatly!

I have to tell you when it comes to luck I have the worse!!

I finally decided on a boat and purchased it.

1990 Maxum 18ft 1800SR
Open bow 135hp Merc I/o

I was sittin at the local Notary Tag center getting it all registered and
legal. When the guy asked me for the capacity plate information....

There is no tag/sticker indication of any capacity information nowhere!!

What is the information of this plate that I need? I can apply to the
boat
commission to issue me a new tag but that does not help getting her
registered now. What should it read please?


Thanks!!!!!

Tim

Please understand that 8 is the maximum capacity and certainly not
recommended on an 18 foot bowrider.

That's one thing I notice a lot out on the Bay...small boats,
14-footers, with four or five passengers, and not much freeboard left.
I pretty much can guess what would happen if they got hit by the wake
from one of those Xanadu barges that roar by, bows up in the air and
wakes the size of a small roller coaster.
