Coast Guard Says Boaters Too Fat for Old Standards
 We all know we need to eat better, exercise more, and generally avoid anything that tastes good in order to live a long, healthy life of eating bland food. Now it seems that the Coast Guard had finally taken notice that their old average weight standards of 140 - 160 pounds per passenger are no longer realistic. The new standard average weight per passenger is now 185 pounds. Of course this new "average" also seems to be on the light side but us far closer than the old one. Operators of all pontoon boats and passenger boats under 65 feet will have change their maximum number of passengers based on the new 185 pound standard. More on the new weight standards is available from hometownannapolis.com.
