Pull me over to check me and harrass me because I'm just fishin. Not running around partying and drinking with the boat overloaded. BULL

I don't know the answer to that, but our pontoon is rated for 13 people (over a dozen) and btw we fish on it, has two livewells working; (one more not hooked up and right now used for storage) several rod holders on board , and at least a dozen rods rigged right now ...

I'll admit we've never had a dozen people on it but IF we had it would not be "legally overloaded" FWIW

It's my guess that F&W already KNOW what person capacity that most pontoons are rated for, and most who own pontoons make sure to SHOW (out in the open) enough PFD for each person onboard....
