Hmmm... I wonder how I managed to survive having 4 people in my 14-footer

Your people are smaller than his?

How much freeboard in that WB 8 when three are aboard? 1"?

Actually, freeboard isn't the problem (there's lots of it): it's balance.
Not bad once everyone is in, but if you put someone in the middle, then
someone in the back, the transom goes under before the third person can
get in the bow. And so on...
