What does the recommended gross load capacity of a watercraft include?

Only the weight of the persons on board
Weight of the watercraft alone
Weight of persons, equipment, fuel, and more
Maximum speed capacity of the boat

The correct answer is: Weight of persons, equipment, fuel, and more

The recommended gross load capacity of a watercraft includes not just the weight of persons on board, but also the weight of equipment, fuel, and any additional items such as coolers or gear. Option A is incorrect because it only accounts for the weight of the people on board and does not include any other items that may be carried on the watercraft. Option B is incorrect because it only accounts for the weight of the watercraft itself and does not include any additional weight that may be added. Option D is incorrect because it mentions the maximum speed capacity of the boat, which is not related to the recommended gross load capacity.
