I'll check it tonight and let you know. Fr Frank says he has to order them in groups of 12, soooooo, we need more people with 18's to come togetha! ;)

Re: Fed requirement for USCG max capacity plate
 

18'SF is USCG recommended max hp of 215 with an o/b

LOA 18'2" rounded up to next higher one-foot increment = 19'
Beam 7'5" rounded up to next higher one-foot increment = 8'

(19X8X2)-90=214 (rounded up to next higher 5hp increment) = 215 max recommended hp
