[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 401218, member: 15636"] Previous per person weight limits were based on 140-pounds per person. In 2011 (see: https://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5212/aawpp.asp) the USCG raised that limit to 185-pounds per person. I myself would not add full decking or full floors into a small boat due to capacity and stability concerns, plus to maintain a decent weight-to-horsepower ratio. On one small skiff where I really needed/wanted a flat 'floor' to walk on, I made just a 18" to 2' wide "walkway" down the center ... just wide enough for me to safely move fore-to-aft without tripping over the ribs and all.
