Myself and another pilot are flying a Piper Cherokee Six PA32-300 across the Pacific. We have a 150USGAL ferry tank installed and interested to hear from anyone who has done it in this aircraft. We are keen to get comments as to how much we can overload the aircraft to remain within safe limits. The are 2 POB.

[Alan, Am moving this to the Questions forum for the benefit of a wider audience!]

Alan, I think Blue Eagle may have censored my original reply!
My concern stems from limited Weight/balance/uplifted weight on this type.
Be very careful of going anywhere near overload!
