[QUOTE="SD Fishing, post: 402230, member: 20226"] For what this is worth to someone that runs across this thread I will tell you this: My 1954 Arkansas Traverler PT-12 is rated for 4 persons & a 5hp motor (max). Today I did a float test with 835-850 pounds and the water never got above the waterline ridge and it wasn't any more "tippy" than it would be at a lesser weight. I was quite surprised it was fine. So, if you happen to have a 12' Semi-V tin that doesn't come with any specs or capacity ratings, know that I loaded my to the gills with more weight than I would ever carry to see what it would haul and I got up to the 835-850 pound mark with no issues. I would NOT recommend it by any means but it may be info worth knowing. Cheers [/QUOTE]
