Hi Jeff... I am also trying to locate a capacity plate for my 1964 13' standard that I am restoring. The NMMA told me that the one you posted is not for a boat that old;in fact here is what he said: (Robert E. Newsome Manager, Engineering Standards National Marine Manufacturers Association)

"In 1964, a boat should have carried a capacity tag. The USCG will require this boat to have one now, the unfortunate part is to find out what the original capacities were. The plaque you have displayed below could not be the original craft, as the NMMA did not go by the name “NMMA” at that point; this tag is for a much newer model."

Any ideas where I could obtain one, or at least get the data from one to have one made?
Thanks
Bob

I bought a capacity label from this company. I was very happy with the product and service.

I have a 1966 13' BW. What is the capacity of the boat? Where is the capacity plate attached to? What plate do I need to get?

Thanks

You also go to Magic Brush, give her your hull ID number and she can send you the exact capacity decal for your particular boat.

Any good trophy shop can make the capacity plate from the download on W/C.
