What is the most weight and people you've had in your boat?

ORIG. FRG

Mine was 22,000 lbs and 12 people...........It took a long time to plane out and we were riding at 3300 rpm. The person who buys my boat next dosen't need to here this story.

are you sure 22,000 lbs that would sink your boat unless it is a damn cruise ship

Most ive had would be about 500 lbs in ballast and like 13 people in our little 16' outboard. It was good on planing...since we had like 5 people in the front of the boat....wake was freakin huge....Ill never forget that day...thank god for the heavy duty bolts and hydraulic trim system on our boat....I swear thats the only thing that kept the motor attached to the boat and not bending in half.

Funk, sounds like a good old workhorse to me!
I ride with a friend that has an 89 malibu sunsetter that has a ton of hours on it. We load that thing until it's sunk, and it probably has one of the best wakes I have ever ridden!
I have never been behind an old Nauti like yours, but I'm sure that it's insane....I love the older boats... Twisted Evil

2000 pounds + 6 peeps in the bayliner, big and clean but still a little soft compared to a comp boat.

we had 17 folk in the Pro-V a couple years ago. That had to be the BIGGEST wake I have ever seen! It did take a little while to plane, but once up and running, OMG!!! Didn't realize just how much it was until it came time for the DU. Probably the highest I have ever been! Oh the good old days, I want that wake back!!
