    lay off the beer for a week Norma Stitz, then you should be just under limit, and take a big deuce just before you go out to lighten the load

    limits and what not are posted for a safety reason.

    with that said if something actual capacity is "x" and the user brings the items capacity up to "x" and the item fails then the manufacture can be liable for damages.

    so manufactures will sale the item short and knowing the items capacity is "x" they will say it is "y" just to cover there tail

    so will it float you most likely yes it will but at the same time you are seriously risking going past its actual capacity and sinking.
