How many people?
 

I have a 1994 Legend 257XL. Does anyone know the number of passengers/weight rating? I want to stay legal.

No fatty's that's definitely not legal... id say 8 would be fine

Thanks! That's what I thought, but want to be sure. No comment on the other part, though. LOL

On my '03 the capacity tag reads 7 persons or 2500 lbs. Now that would have to be some VERY heavy women! I think you're fine with 8 especially if they're female.:cool-smiley-011:

Boats over 20 feet are not required to have capacity plates or ratings. You can figure the safe capacity using this info from BoatUS:

"Another way to determine how many people you may safely carry is to use
the following formula:
Boat length (in feet) multiplied by Beam (in feet) divided by 15 (this is what they use as a starting point for the required ratings)
As an example, if you have a 30 foot boat having a 10 foot beam, you can safely carry 20 average size adults
(approximately 150 lbs each). Keep in mind that this formula is based upon having calm seas! You should
always carry less weight and fewer people if you know you are in for rough weather."

For a 257, that is 13-14 people. I know I'd never feel comfortable putting that many aboard my 257, though

if you want everyone to be comfortable 6 is max
