Hi there everyone,
First off let me say I think this is an amazing site that has some very nice and helpful people on it.
My question is, is that my Meyers 12 foot aluminum V-hull has a weight rating of 705lbs when fully loaded with people, gear, and motor. Now i don't have a motor yet, but its only rated for a 10horse or smaller. Id like to mod it like backpain did. here is his link, which nice job btw

Now my concern is that the weight of the deck will be too much for the boat if i want to take a couple of buddies out. I myself weight 245, and my buddies are no tiny people either. I was wondering if i put more foam in (it already has some in the benches), if that would increase the max weight allowed? Any help with modifying it or any ideas would be awesome
Any input?
