Just be careful about loading the bridge.... A few years ago there was an accident that made lots of
news about a boat load of folks who went out for a July 4th fireworks show and everyone wanted to
be on the bridge....well the boat capsized and if I remember correctly there was loss of life. The boat
was not a Hatteras. If I recall it was either a Silverton or a Mainship but I still wouldn't load the bridge
regardless of who built the boat.

A 55c will handle more weight on the bridge than a motoryacht. First of all the height and cog are lower with the bigger engines and lower cabins plus the lack of the high aft cabin weight but 12 to 15 people will start to make a difference. Maybe not as easily felt as expected but certainly a difference.

And a wider beam than MY of similar length and full tanks. I considered the conditions and the numbers.
Here is one piece of the puzzle.

Average in the women. If it's still 200 lbs per person get new women.

No way that women are configured into those averages... IMO.

This was taken a few months ago. That's Lauren Sisler from ESPN filming a piece on the Vol Navy. I think I counted about 16 or 17 in the pic, and there are 4 or 5 on the other side of the camera. The bow seats 10, the salon seats 15, a few on the aft deck...Lots of room below for folks. But it was way too crowded for comfort.
