Interior Capacity Decal
I have a 1995 Baja Outlaw 24, my boat does not have the capacity decal inside the cockpit. Is there a way to get one? I was asked by the marine officers where the decal was last year. I would appreciate any feedback...maybe I don't need one.

My understanding is that not all boats are required to have them. I was told that manufacturers that produce less than X number per year weren't required to have them but that some manufacturers still put stickers in to placate the WP but they didn't actually mean anything. Not sure if that's accurate or if it would apply to you but a thought. A call to a Baja rep or someone that was a Baja rep should clear that up.
A side note, I know for a fact that not all boats have them so that obviously means they're not required for all boats...

According to 33 C.F.R. PART 183—BOATS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, Subpart B—Display of Capacity Information, § 183.21 Applicability (Last Revised as of July 1, 2000), you do NOT need one.

§ 183.21 Applicability.
This subpart applies to monohull boats less than 20 feet in length, except sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and inflatable boats.

Yep, you can't argue with the CFR's.
A Lot of manufacturers will provide a capacity plate on boats much larger, but it is not required on anything over 20'.
NMMA certification requires builders to provide a plate up to 26' feet, but that's an industry rule, not a FED regulation.
