My empty weight is 1641 without wheel pants and fairings. Also have a little more interior work to do. 2700 - 1641 = 1059. My emply weight CG is a little aft so, leaving fuel off will help in the weight side of the equation, but the CG will run out the back of the envelope if I put to much weight in the back....same as most other aircraft I have flown.
Here is a tool I built for my airplane......use at your own risk, I have not looked at it for a while.

I have just done a generic example for you, so if the formatting does not get scrambled in the posting it might make sense. Basically depends on how heavy the pax are! If they are too heavy..... I would suggest for all concerned to get them lighter and not the plane bigger. It makes more sense that way, a win-win situation.
PS my data is in that funny metric system that the rest of the world uses!
