I am guessing you got some info from the link that GORD posted the other day. I checked the numbers on a couple of boats I am familiar with, and found them to be highly suspect. The site does note that the numbers are generic, and cites the sources. Yes the capsize ratio would be affected by the factors you mention. Although the numbers on the site are based on the designed weight and hull, adding 2000 pounds of equipment and provisions will certainly change the numbers.
It is a good starting reference.
