Passenger capacity shall be determined by applying either of the following formulas resulting in the lesser capacity:

(a) (WC — M) : 185, where M is the weight of the largest outboard motor and associated operating equipment that the watercraft is represented to accommodate if usable with outboard motor; and 185 is the presumed pound weight per person. For a watercraft with an inboard or inboard-outboard motor, divide WC by 185.

(b) Boat length multiplied by the maximum boat beam divided by 15. This formula is not applicable to canoes.
