Adam S asked:
I bought a small boat designed for ponds that weighs 130 pounds. It's weight capacity is 475 pounds. It will mostly be just me fishing on it which wont be an issue because I weigh around 180. However, I would like to go on it with my dad and together we will be pushing that weight capacity. Also, I got a 15 pound anchor. I don't know how much a trolling motor and its battery weighs. Plus we fish for bass and catfish a lot, both of which can be pretty hefty when big.

So I was wondering what the weight capacity of a boat is. Is that when it will sink? Or is it when it just becomes immobile? Also, how conservative are the weight capacity estimates?
So, I guess my real question here is: Can my dad and I go fishing on this boat?
