Can any one tell me why my 1999 22zx doesn't have a capacity plate? Is there any way to get a new one? I saw a couple of 22c plates on ebay but that doesn't help me. I don't think it's manditory, but it would be nice to have one.

Brian, I dont know why some Donzi's dont have the capacity plate but if you search "capacity plate" you'll see its been tossed around here before.

Why do you guys want one. It sounds like more of a liability to me. It is something that can be held against you.

Here is my take. I have been out in a 16 which listed the max as 4 people. We had two big guys and 3 small girls. The boat had a v-6 which is 200 lbs lighter than the v-8 but the showed same capacity as a v-8 so I know that we were not overloaded. Why would I want a ticket for being overcapacity?

It is kind of like a max hp rating. If you can get away reasonably with it then why do you want restrictions?

To me it is kind of like saying "Can you give me a speed limit please?"

That is just my take. Maybe someone more well versed than me will speak up.
