Capacity Plate - 1995 Riviera Cruiser 20'

#1 Post by aborgman » Thu May 02, 2019 5:43 am

My boat is missing one, and after exhaustively searching the internet - I managed to only find a picture of one that was so faded I could only read the person capacity (13) and not the weight or HP rating.

Anyone know the real numbers?

unless you happen across one, you'll never figure this out, I wouldn't even worry about it, the boat is old and that plate is not even lawfully required. there are places online that can make one for you, use the HULL ID on the right hand area of the stern area, or maybe on the transom, it will be a long alpha-numeric number and the last 2 digits reference the year of the hull. and I would limit those passenger and gear numbers, my 23 foot tritoon is only rated for 12 or 13 passengers..

Hi - I was able to find my specs for my 2001 25' Riviera Cruiser by going on the "wayback machine" and seeing the old website.

https://web.archive.org/web/19990420103 ... uiser.com/

The specs only go back to 1999 - but it might help?

I have attached the specs for the 2001 models that I saved off of there.

good on ya! that was some deep research, I was shocked at the MAX HP capacity of the large pontoon, 225's back in the day were heavy motors.. that was a beast then for a pontoon.
