Capacity is 30 on the launches. 20-25 is a good number before the rookies start tangling lines. Or the fish, and thats no big deal then biggrin

I like the part about the fish, Doug. Please order Wanda a martini.

She looks a little chilly. wink smile biggrin

Will do Malmo. She comes in the bar at night and plays that song that tequila makes her cloths fall off. So a Martini should be ok.

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Geez, I better get to the bar quick. Martini or tequila -- either one works for me and the clothes falling off...HA! You guys are too much!

Hey My Alumacraft TS boat was all finished today at Lyback's Marine for Spring inspection and normal engine maintenance. Malmo will be home 4 weeks from today!!! Better warn the Bobber!

If you see how much fun these guys have when they AIN"T catchin' fish, you can about imagine how much fun they can be when they are.....(especially the Ertle bunch)

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there any chance to have more than 30 if some of them are young kids (ages 5-12)?

Apparently the idea of a launch on Mille Lacs is more popular than I initially thought and we are closing in on that number quickly.

BJP,

The legal capacity of the launches are 32 people. This also includes the captain (of course) and a deck hand to help with netting, setting lines, etc. It is figured by deck square footage and rail length. If the group provides a deck hand, the group can be as much as 31.

And no, the age or size of the person doesn't matter. Sorry.
