To many pax on the FB...

Fenders flapping in the breeze under way is always a red flag!
 
"It floats. It starts. What else do I need to know???"
 
12 that I can see with only the small picture. More than I would like take on my 44 foot express cruiser.
 
I could only see 10 people. Should not be a problem. I would prefer it they were not on the bow, but the water looks smooth.

pretty sure there were quite few more than 10. boat is riding very low in the water. In terms of smooth, they were heading out to watch the air show during fleet week. once they got past this stretch there were 1000s of other boats and the seas were "confused"

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
 
it's another Silverton! we're not all that stupid, honest!

I can only post on what the picture showed; 10 people being visible. How many below deck or not in the picture is just a guess at best. The boot stripe is still visible and above the water. Where they are going was not stated.

BC " "Oh it was only 10 people, it shouldnt have been a problem" Good call." In your expert opinion what is the correct number of people? 8, 6, 4, 2, or 1. Surely you have the correct answer. All I am saying is that 10 people on that boat is not an outrageous number.
 
Is it just me or does the bow look a little low?Are those heads sticking up out of the bow hatch?
 
Now that I have my glasses on I see two that I counted are actually in another boat behind it.

Edit - blowing it up I can now see 13 on board. Three on the bow, 1 in the back and nine on the bridge.

Plus the hatch is not open it is a chair and on the swim platform it appears the boarding ladder cover is open.
 
I see atleast 13 people. 3 on the bow, 9 in and around the upper helm and at least 1 to aft.
Also I believe what has been described as open hatch is actually a folding chair.

correction: I do see an open hatch behind the chair.

Thats the first thing that caught my eye too. Looks sloppy. Makes you wonder about what else is wrong. Not necessarily overloaded especially if the passengers are familiar with boats. A little heavy? Maybe if she gets into a good roll going from a broadside wake.

Not being arguementive, but your eyesight must be better than mine, I still only see 6 on the bridge.
Edit: after blowing up the picture to 400%, I do see 9 people on the bridge.
