Reds - I was invited on the boat and had some time to talk to the owner.
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 Coast Guard 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.
