""I can imagine some greedy type putting in 8 rows of benches seating 3 on either side of an aisle. The boat pictured is too small for that many passengers. . . I imagine that these tours were not free and I imagine that 50 people paid more than 49. There are greedy people everwhere.<<"

What imagination? My observations are based on counting the rows of passengers in the photo and assuming what appears to be an 8' beam . And given that the deck is even with the top of the gunwhales (that is the "side" to you landlubber), and given the shallow draft precluding any mass in the keel, and given the fact THAT THE THING TIPPED OVER IN CLEAR AND CALM CONDITIONS, ergo my conclusion that it was an unseaworthy, top heavy design for that many passengers.
