Question

If a 18'boat is filled to capacity,are the people being towed in the water part of that capacity?

Answer 1

So the people being towed  are in there boat, right? Not yours. Correct?

No, those are two separate boats. As long as those two boats arent over the capacity, then your fine.

Answer 2

Yes.  You must have room on board your boat, within the boat’s maximum persons capacity, for any person(s) being towed behind the boat.  

If you are talking about separate boats then I would imagine each boat would have it's own capacity.  If you're talking towing skiers then each person (including skiers) is part of the capacity.

Answer 3

yes sir and the boat size doesn't matter

Answer 4

Contact your local water recreation enforcement about this.  It depends on the state.
