You should have a small metal plate that is riveted into the rear transom that will tell you what the max. capacity, persons and weight. If this is absent, I would answer the question by saying that if your boat is of the John boat variety, (square front end) and pretty shallow sides, I would think twice about 2 large people that weigh 225+. If your boat is of the deep-V variety with deeper sides, then two people with gear would probably be fine. Any way you look at it, a 10 boat is a maximum of twp persons.
