Recently purchased an 07 2660 and cannot find the cg rating/placard. Thanks for any help.

The placard you're referring to is a requirement for vessels less than 20 feet in length.

I have a capacity plate, overboard discharge plate on my 2660 and is it located mid ship gunwale on the port side right across from the console. It is barely legible so I suspect the previous owner removed it for that reason. But may e this is different from what you're referring too.

Yours has a persons onboard capacity plate? I looked through my CG OUPV study books last night and couldn't find the answer to quote exactly. This subject has been broached on other forums with same answer. I'll see if I can find something on the net.

Found one, the link is below, but you have to scroll down a bit to find it, so I've also pasted the text in below the link. www.answers.com/Q/What_does_a_boats_capacity_plate_indicateAccording to federal law which type of boat requires a capacity plate? The standard became effective for applicable boats manufactured of mono-hull boats less than 20 feet in length, except sailboats, canoes, kayaks and inflatables. The standard became effective for applicable boats manufactured after November 1, 1972. The standards originally required the following: Capacity Plate information by boat type: Boats powered by outboards: the maximum persons capacity in pounds and maximum weight capacity (persons, motor and gear) in pounds and maximum horsepower capacity. Boats powered by inboards and stern drives: the maximum persons capacity in pounds and maximum weight capacity (persons and gear). (The Coast Guard Safe Powering Standard does not apply to inboards, stern drives, etc.) Manually propelled boats: the maximum persons capacity in pounds and maximum weight capacity (persons and gear). Also, keep in mind the limits defined on capacity plates apply in good to moderate weather conditions. In rough waters, keep the weight well below the limit. People represent a "live" load; moving about affects a boat quite differently than static loads like the engine or fuel tank. If your boat's capacity is fully used, or if the weather becomes rough, distribute the load evenly; keep the weight low, and avoid abrupt changes in distribution. Shift human or other weight only after stopping or slowing. As an example, if you have a 30 foot boat having a 10 foot beam, you can safely carry 20 average size adults (approximately 150 lbs each). Keep in mind that this formula is based upon having calm seas! You should always carry less weight and fewer people if you know you are in for rough weather.

To add to this, boats over 26 feet in length are classified as yachts and have no maximum passenger restrictions.

Damn now you guys are making me second guess what I saw and have come to ignore. Will have to look at those placards again.

My 2018 245DC has a Maximum Capacities sticker. Even though it isn't required on boats over 20 feet, it's probably a good idea. May help keep someone from overloading their boat. Seems all the boats I've owned over the last 20 years have had a sticker or plate with the maximums listed. If you want a capacity sticker and can find out the maximums for your boat, you can create your own sticker at ( discontinueddecals.com/store/c/119-Create-Your-Own-Capacity-Decals.aspx )

Thanks for the replies guys, and I’ve now registered as a member. I wasn’t sure about the cg placard being mandatory or not on the boat, so thanks for the answer. Mine does have the waste placard for over 26’, just not the occupancy and hp rating. Thanks again and am loving my new to me 2660.
