Bear with me - going from memory.
I remember John saying the boat could only carry 6. When he first bought it - it was designed to carry more. After a inspection - there needed to be a few things changed to carry more and there was not time to get everything done.
It was small things like a wider cabin door - railing - etc.
Trust me - that boat is a solid tank.

I made a mistake, I should have called the Coast Guard and let them deal with the fact he was advertising an over 6 boat.
Instead I tried to hint to his mate that there was a problem, hoping he would see what I was talking about and tell the owner so he could take the website down.
The Coast Guard doesn't like advertising something on a website when the boat doesn't have the proper credentials and it sure was enough evidence of that.
I could care less how solid his boat is or his number of trips. The boat owner should play by the regs the rest of us have to play by.
