over crowded

"You clearly stuck your foot in your mouth by insinuating the boat was overloaded. Now you reply that that you have no idea of what a safe passenger load is. Sounds like you're a flip-flopper. Was the boat overloaded and if so; what would the correct number be?"

PAMike, really? I stuck my foot in my mouth be insinuating the boat was overloaded? It certainly is over loaded. For once, yes you are correct. I dont know what what the safe passenger load is, BECAUSE WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BOAT, for example, how big is the boat?

You must have a problem reading, because Ive clearly stated that the boat is crowded.

Really, should not be a problem? Im sure thatll fly real well if god forbid here was an accident. I could hear that captain now, "Oh it was only 10 people, it shouldnt have been a problem" Good call.

I wouldnt say the water looks smooth, you could tell the wind was blowing, look at the sailboats in the back ground.

The bow is certainly down quite a bit

You come off like a total idiot. I agree with the person you quoted until more facts are presented and w/the assumption the captain isn't taking the boat into weather. That's what I read the poster to say...

Too many freaks on the site anymore, that's why it's dying, dead.
 
Talking about being crowded.
This old 40' could carry 42 passengers.

"A party boat carrying 22 passengers that nearly sank in San Francisco Bay Friday night was towed to Sausalito this morning for repairs, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

All of the passengers were safely rescued by Coast Guard crews from the 40-foot vessel called the Neptune. The boat was hosting a bachelor party when it hit a shoal near Alcatraz Island at about 8:45 p.m. The crash tore open a foot-long gash in the side of the boat.

There were no injuries reported, and there appears to be no pollution problems from the incident, according to the Coast Guard.

The Neptune is owned by San Francisco Bay Boat Cruises and is advertised as hosting wine-tasting events. According to the company's website, the Neptune is a "1958 classic cabin top cruiser" built specifically for leisure trips. The boat can carry up to 42 passengers.

The owners could not be reached for comment Saturday morning.
