Boat capacity and accessories???
Just recently purchased a powerquest 290 enticer and can't find a capacity plate anywhere. I know this kind of thing is common sinse but all the other boats i've owned had one. Aslo need to know if anyone knows where i can get accessories for this boat....powerquest hats..shirts..coozies..stickers..that sort of thing. Baja has a really nice page for this stuff but no longer own a baja..Thanks

Capacity plates are not required by the CG on boats 27' and larger. As for the accessories I would look in the PowerQuest forum down the site page. Should have some better luck with brand specific question down there. Congrats on the new boat.

290 Enticer, there is a rather basic formula that the coast guard uses..
Length x Beam divided by 15.
So if you're boat is 29' Long x 8' wide divided by 15 = 15.4
So you could have 15 people on your boat.
I'm pretty sure only boats under 20' require capacity plates..
Here's a page with some reading.

By the way the general rule is "Seat for every ass on the boat"
