Where can you find information on recommended safe limits for a boat's maximum total load?

You can find information on recommended safe limits for a boat's maximum total load in the boat's owner’s manual or manufacturer's specifications, which typically include weight limits for passengers and cargo. Additionally, the capacity plate, often located near the operator's position, provides essential information about maximum weight and passenger limits. For further guidance, consult resources from local boating authorities or safety organizations like the U.S. Coast Guard.
