I received a certified letter in the mail today from Blazer Boats. It informed me that I needed to place on my boat a new replacement US Coast Guard sticker. It reduces the maximum capacity from 4 to 3 persons. And weight from 700lbs to 486lbs. Uhhhmmm to me this is a pretty big deal. That means technically that now I can not take my family of four together to fish as a family. Two, basically depending on who I have with me I could very easily be over the 486lbs with two guys.
I am am not in the least bit happy about this. I would have sure liked to have known something about this other than just a letter. How can you purchase something from a manufacturer with ratings stated on a boat. Then change it and think hey this is a great idea, folks won’t mind or be impacted in the least bit.
