What is the weight limit on a 1988 Gibson Standard Houseboat?

Question

I have looked all over online and can't find anything. Please include credibility and weight per person. Thanks!

Answer 1

We were dealers for Gibson back in the 70's and 80's  I don't remember anything on weight load, or no of persons on board.   I know that the USCG had a lab in Tampa Florida that did test on boats in the 80's but I don't remember any house boats being tested.

    From years experience I'd hold the No of passengers to no more than 12 Adults.  Children take more watchful supervision so I'd cut the number to 8 to 10 depending on number and age of the children.  I hope this informative, but maybe one of the people who built these houseboats would have more definitive data.   Good luck!!!!!!

Answer 2

there is a capacity plate on the boat should be by the wheel house look for it and it will tell you
