So I cannot leave well enough alone. It took me half a day of work to find the correct answers, Thanks to Chuck Wagner at Baja Marine who knows more about the coast guard regulations than any other coast guard person I talked to.
FEDERAL LAW
183.21 - Applicability
This subpart applies to monohull boats less than 20 feet in length, except sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and inflatable boats.
Boats under the 20’ mark are not required to show a capacity rating. The Coast Guard will generally use the following Length times width divided by 15 to get a safe person rating.

Passengers just get in the way, I like to bring my wife and one or two girls that may make bad decisions while drinking
