2.14 Yacht Certication Plate
Coast Guard rules require boats less than 20 feet
(6 meters) to display a gross weight and person-
capacity plate provided by the manufacturer. The
person/load capacity is determined by the US
Coast Guard.
Boat manufacturers in the National Marine Manu-
facturers Association (NMMA) program will dis-
play a gross weight and person-capacity plate on
boats up to 26 feet (7.9 meters). Larger boats,
including your boat, will display a Yacht Certica-
tion plate indicating compliance with the NMMA
and U.S. Coast Guard requirements instead of a
capacity plate.
The yacht certication plate is usually located near
the helm in clear view of the operator.
2.15 Transporting Your Boat
Your Everglades is a large boat and should only
be trailered by professionals that have the knowl-
edge and equipment to move large boats without
causing damage.
You should contact your dealer or the Everglades
Boats Customer Service Department if you are
planning to transport your boat and have any
questions in regard to the proper equipment and
support for the hull.
BOATS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY TRAILERS THAT DON’T
PROPERLY SUPPORT THE HULL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE
TRAILER BUNKS AND PADS ARE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE NOT
PUTTING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON THE LIFTING STRAKES
AND ARE PROVIDING ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR THE HULL. HULL
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRAILER SUPPORT IS
NOT COVERED BY THE EVERGLADES WARRANTY.
