What about liability? Lets face it, many times those plates are leaning on the side of caution, and I do get that.

But if the capacity is 10 adults, and you have 6 adults and 6 kids, you are likely OK, assuming everyone had a seat...but what about liability? If there was ever a problem, and someone is getting sued, are you as the boat owner shifting liability toward yourself by exceeding capacity?
