Motor box weight limit!!

[justinlkgb]

Anyone know what the weight limit on the engine box might be?

I have a 91 maristar 210?

Thanks in advance

In an older boat it may differ depending on the condition of the boat. On new boats I have had 3 girls up on the engine box of a direct drive and 6-8 on v-drives. No damage done, but those are new boats.

How big are the "chicks"? The one dude I am worried about is around 350 and only 5'10"? Just a guess , but I don't want him to fall through:o

Well if you add like 3-4 of them together..........thats a big dude. I would be very careful.

How is the box made? any Idea. is it all Fiberglass? I have noticed the cupholders seem to be sagging:confused:
We often have sacs on both sides which is why we need to use the motor box.

Construction practices have changed, but I'm for 35th running the test for you! ;)

Good picture 35th!

thanks for all the responces. My biggest concern is PSi. This is off topic but any idea if an extended pylon can handle such a big dude? He wants to try to wakeboard, but i fear the pull, litereally? Whats the largest person you ever pulled up with an extended pylon?

Erik, any photos of the females on the motor box,....just want to compare;)

[justinlkgb]

Thanks Leroy.

I am 295 and ski from the pylon, and have a monster tower and wakeboard from it all the time. No problems.......

Mine handles 245lbs quite often. 300 and I'd get a little nervous but I'm guessing they could take 400 as long as they aren't jumping up and down. This is on a 93 and should have the same glass layup as your 91.

Thanks for the responces. I will post a pic shortly of if I can.
