I spend a lot of time on a 40' motorboat in the California Delta and I've helped single guys in my Marina unload a 90 pound Sturgeon from a boat like Petersons. These guys land the 90 pounder by themselves while anchored. He would have no problem loading a 100 pound woman.
Guilty as charged.
Exactly!
I was diving off of a boat that size while my dad was fishing (trying to fish, I should say). lol!
My son has an antique 14ft wooden Chris Craft, it is very solid, have never had a problem getting in & out & 3 kids on it moving all around, plus coolers & gas tanks. I think it's quite possible to do.
Well, despite my misgivings about the boat, I think the jury probably made the right decision.
