How many people on your boat?

[M&M]

2000 20CI. Missouri Ozarks. Usually carry 8, 6 kids and 2 adults, or 4 adults and 6 kids. I drag 2 at least, sometimes 3 behind the boat for more room in the boat. We have a cabin and dock to work from. Sometimes we use the pontoon boat for a chase and observation platform. Img30366.jpgEverybody wants to go first....

We do 8 as an avg. 4 adults 4 kids in our 22v. Kids up front adults in the back. Plenty of room. Ten gets snug and when we get to 12 it's tight. But at that point we are kid heavy and put 6 kids up front. They don't seem to mind and also seem to have room. Been on a few Z3s 10 won't people a problem at all if you got 6 kids and 6 adults would still be comfy... 10 adults on a Z3 ain't bad at all either. But with all that said we are not "trapped" on the boat all day either. We go out everybody rides or we get out and lounge load back up and return to shore chill reload and repeat.

Totally agree with robert on this as I have a 07 22ve which is obviously legal for 14 ppl but anymore than 10 adults gets a little tight to maneuver around the boat even with 3 of those being in the bow of it. I personally take the legal number of adults for the vessel and divide it by two and that's the max amount I like to have on my boat, unless its a special occasion or holiday weekend. Besides the more ppl the more babysitting the owner has to do, and more cleaning involved!

With my RZ2 if we have more than 8 people it gets too crowded to have fun. We have had 10 people but i felt it was too crowded. When we have 4 to 6 that's the sweet spot for ballast,balance and room to maneuver.
