What do you suppose is the maximum capacity of a pedal boat?
Technical answer: about 450 lbs.
Realistic answer: 5 kids.
I bet they could've fit a sixth if he could be trusted not to wiggle and slide off the back.
They had to be careful not to overload the back half of the boat because then they were lifting the bow out of the water, rendering the paddle wheel ineffective.
At about a 50 lbs a piece, though, you could theoretically fit 9 kids on this thing.
I accept that challenge.
