Haven't stuffed people yet, but did get 16 kayaks inside and outside on the van in one shot last September.  actually ran 50 miles down the highway too.

  Subject: 10 passenger vanagon!! whats your record?

  a friend from new york came down last night and wanted to borrow my 3 person 
  middle seat (which, by the way, is for sale) to put in his Carat as he 
  volunteered as a "chauffer" for a wedding party... we set the 3 person middle 
  seat 
  (from a 9 passenger) in front of the rear sofabed seat, and folded the 
  jumpseats down...viola!  comfortable seating for 10 people!!   

  speaking of which, whats y'all's record number of people carried in any of 
  your vans? 

  my dad holds the record in his dodge conversion van - 28 people...and yes, it 
  was driving!
