[QUOTE="oakchas, post: 415433, member: 18746"] Now, some technical questions.... Comparing the old boat to the new: -----------the new 1415------the old 3614 Length-------- 14'6"------------ 13'5" beam-----------70"---------------63" bow depth------30.5"-------------30" transom height--20"---------------20" * empty wt-------445#-------------210# max load--------915#-------------936# all figures from factory info except * transom depth measured on the old 3614. Since the old boat is marginally smaller, it displaces less (obviously). By length, it is 92% as long; and the empty weight could be 411#. By beam, it is 90% as wide; and empty weight could be 400#. By bow depth, 98% as deep; and empty weight could be 437#. My original calculations show the max load would not be exceeded even with all my changes and my wife and I on board, with the usual gear. My question is, since the new boat will have more flotation, since I will be adding more flotation than the original (all the bench seats were filled with foam), can the empty weight be more and still allow more payload? Could I take a third person, or add a third seat instead of just the pedestal socket, reasonably? Empty weight will not increase to even the smallest amount of 400#. Is it reasonable to expect the empty weight not matter too much, and still have the payload capacity? [/QUOTE]
