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
