The hobie site states the weight capacity is 350lbs but I think thats pushing it. That dude in the picture doesn't look more than 250 and the boat seems to be sittin' pretty low. I'd like to see a similiar boat made of a lighter material than roto-molded plastic. Bottom line this is a cheap boat for cheap thrills and I agree with ncik, they are going to collect a lot of dust in the garage after a season.
