Boat width is 10' Thanks Annalisa

Hello, a related question here; my boat is a steel hull 45' widebeam, 200l fuel tank, 250 gallons water tank, 8 x 6V batteries; I have 7 solar panels on the roof, plus several stacks of logs; I have a 10kg anchor plus chain on the front deck, plus more stacks of logs. I have room for more wood on the roof and deck, but I am seriously concerned about sinking; the affixed plate says the manufacturer's maximum recommended load is 1500kg, I am clearly already way beyond that. Should I worry? And is there a safe way to determine how much more load the boat can bear? Many thanks Annalisa

Hello, I am new to boating and need advice about my first buy; I viewed a widebeam in mid July with the specifications listed below; I was about to have a survey done but got distracted by other boats; now about a month and a half later I am surprised to see that such boat is still available and hasnt been snapped up yet; I was thinking of having it surveyed now but the fact that a boat of that price and age hasnt been sold in 1.5 months makes me wonder what other potential buyers have been put off with Any advice gratefully received Regards Annalisa Price: £55,000 Designer: Paul Widdowson Builder: Allen Unwin Make: Paul Widdowson Model: 45 Widebeam Year constructed: 2010 Berths: 4 Engine : Barrus Shanks 35 HP (has done 2300 hours) Fuel type: Diesel Drive type: Shaft drive Length overall: 45' Beam: 10' Hull material: Steel Fuel capacity: 400 Litres Water capacity: 2500 Litres Walkthrough bathroom with cassette toilet and shower Multi fuel stove with back boiler providing heating to 2 radiators, gravity fed Hot water provided by calorifier or immersion heater. 8x6v 135ah batteries. 3kw pure sign wave sterling ch/inv.12 and 230v systems LED lighting Fully fitted kitchen including full size cooker, fridge and sink Washing machine
