http://www.fromthebay.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/1997-Silverton-4421.pdf Mostly all aft cabins ride with bow low in front at idle speed. If you read silverton says you can put 8 people or more on the bridge. This is a 44 footer aft cabin that can handle ten or more persons. I seen 6 people fishing in a 18 footer thats not over crowed? As for the fender on the side of the boat he just fogot he is taking his friends out for a ride. I see nothing wrong with this.
I do not see that many. I can only count 7 or 8.
I often have 10 on my Pursuit 3000 when we are going for a Pizza trip. Not at all crowded. Of course that boat has a lot of cockpit area since it is designed as a fishing boat.

In NY it is against the law to have passengers on the bow while the vessel is moving.
New York's handbook states:
Never allow passengers to ride on the bow, seat backs
or gunwales. Riding in these positions may increase
the risk of falling overboard. Operators who permit
passengers to ride in these locations may be cited for
reckless operation, which in New York is a misdemeanor.

"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."
Did I say I have the answer? No, just you assuming again. Its a good thing we can still see the boot strip. The boot stripe on my center console is 8 inches above the water line, the boot stripe on my searay is roughly 3 inches above the water line. So we should no longer pay attention to the bottom paint and water line, as long as the boot stripe is visible the boat is safe.
Gregory, the cars arent exactly stacked in your favor right now

I'm not in a position to say if the vessel is overloaded or not but I'm fairly confidrnt that the FB is overcrowded making the vessel top heavy, something the captain should have noticed in the way the vessel handled as soon as he left the fairway.

He needs to bring that fender in
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?

I have had 18 on my 370 Carver, the boat handled pretty much the exact same way it always has. This however was in Chicago where it way more than common on any weekend afternoon and we were in pretty protected waters. If a boat has a yacht certification then there is no person limit and its up to the captain to determine the safe load capacity.
I will admit that about 13 of the 18 people were 100-130 Lb women lol.
That boat looks like its sitting on it waterline pretty well from what it normally looks like. They do plow a bit when running slower displacement speeds and it looks to me like the boat is rocking a bit from some waves or possible other boat wakes since its admittedly a busy area.
