In the United States, a capacity plate is only required on vessels up to 20' in length. The National Marine Manufacturers Assn. requires capacity plates up to 26' for their certification. Here is a rule of thumb formula for figuring out the capacity if you don't have a plate. Number of people = length of boat (in feet) x vessel width (ft) divided by 15 using 150 lbs as average weight of person. Capacity plates have only been around since some time in the 70's, can't find exact date off hand.
