Re: 1975 Montauk 16'7"

I just had a reproduction capacity plate made for my 1975 Montauk by a reputable vendor. It is a sticker. It arrived today:

The data seems very strange:

Max Hp with reote steering: 100
Max hp w/o remote steering: 50
Maximum Persons Capacity (Pounds): 1154
Maximum Weight Capacity (Persons, Motor & Gear) (Pounds): 1154

The hp figures seem correct. The weight capacities seem inconsistent. 1154# seems low for people, their gear, and the motor. It also seems strange that the plate would specify the same for people only, and then include the same all-up weight.

Does anybody know what the actual figures for this boat might be?

Thanks.
