Default People in a 272

Hello from Ontario Canada.
New to this forum. I am about to pull the trigger on a 89 272.
Can anyone tell me the legal number of people the boat can hold ?

Thanks

that boat might have a tag in it which says, otherwise I think it goes bye the number of lifejackets, don't think you will want more then 5/6

There is no legal number for that boat. If they fit your legal. 5/6 is the realistic max though as 88242 said.

Why do you ask? Are going to run down to Cuba and head for Miami?

Here is more info than you will ever need, but Length x Beam / 15 is a rough rule to use. so... 27x8.25=222.75 /15= 14.8

Good luck getting 14 people in a 272!
