5. To determine the maximum number of passengers to load onto the boat, multiply 9 passengers
by 165 lb. (MerCruiser person weight) to get a 1485 lb. (total passenger load)
6. Subtract the swim platform load from the total passenger load to get the remaining weight to
be placed in the boat.
7. Divide the remaining weight to be placed onto the boat by the MerCruiser person weight to
get the maximum number of passengers to load onto the boat.
8. Using the totals in this example load 56 lb. cargo in the aft storage, 113 lb. cargo in the center
storage, and 56 lb. cargo in the bow storage onto the boat before adding passenger weight.
Then, load six 165 lb. passengers, onto the boat with 500 lb. on the swim platform.
500 lb. + 225 lb. = 725 lb.
725 lb. + 165 lb. = 890 lb.
890 lb. + 165 lb. = 1055 lb.
1055 lb. + 165 lb. = 1220 lb.
1220 lb. + 165 lb. = 1385 lb.
1385 lb. + 165 lb. = 1550 lb.
1550 lb. + 165 lb. = 1715 lb.

225 lb. × 25% = 56.25 lb.
56.25 lb. rounded down = 56 lb.
9 passengers × 165 lb. = 1485 lb.
1485 lb. – 500 lb. = 985 lb.
985 lb. ÷ 165 lb. = 5.9 passengers
5.90 passengers rounded up = 6 passengers
