Wow, I can't imagine 18 people on my SCR-27. There's enough seating for 4 to 6. More than 6 would not be comfortable, unless everyone was spread out in the cockpit, forward cabin and rear berth, and standing in the galley.
Now accounting for heavier people, I assume it would be LOA X BEAM / 20 (for 200 lbs per person), so for my SCR-27, this would be:
27 x 9.6 / 20 = 12.96 persons which I would round down to 12 people. Still too many in my opinion for the layout of the boat.
Did I calculate that right? If I want to assume a few heavier men (200 to 250 lbs), a couple of lighter women (110-160 lbs), and maybe a few children (40 to 90 lbs) ? Or I could keep the 150 lbs average and do: 27 x 9.6 / 15 = 17.28 or round down to 17 people (still too many for comfort).
