Will this hold up to a 300 lb. shark?

I have bought 4 installed them on my boat. They are well made and quality for the price. I would have no problem shark fishing with this item if the rod used had a properly adjusted drag. The most drag used on any reel would be 50 pounds on a 130 bent butt.

Yes.they are very good quality...be sure to have the drag on your reel set correctly for any rod holder you use... I love these and would recommend.

I would have to say no. Its built very well but not as heavy duty as my stock sets. its a lighter aluminum not a cast.

If you bolt this and put a washer and nut on the other side, so long as you have a 1/4" thick fiberglass bite you will be okay.Don't forget to put 5500 on it as well.I would however suggest you get a longer one to avoid the risk of the rod pulling out.

For this version (EP-550) the manufacturer says 300 lbs is the limit. As others have said, this is a very solid piece of equipment - in fact, it is UL certified which, as I understand it, meets a very stringent standard for construction. If you are 300 lbs or less, you should be fine.

The chair is very sturdy. I'm sure it would hold up to 300 pounds. Check with the seller.

Hi Damien. I went to the site of the guy who invented it, and it said on the FAQ page that it can hold up to 300 lbs.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

I know that 300lbs is ok with this bed. It is very sturdy if assembled correctly.

It should handle that fine. I can fit my entire SCUBA set up in it except a tank.

Not to sure but I'm a pretty big guy 300 pounder and there holding up just fine.

I doubt they would be strong enough for 300 lbs, although that is strictly my opinion. I hope a large man answers your question!

Yes, it will hold 300 lbs. The seat is wider than your average beach chair. Note, it is a beach chair so it sits low. If you have trouble getting up, don't get this chair. I love mine!

This model that we purchased had the superior and stronger wheels, so it handles 300 lbs. when out and about; but check with mfg, to be sure, if weight limit was not in detail.

They seem pretty sturdy, and people over 200 pounds have used them. But I don't know if I would go over 300 pounds.

So far we have put about 300 plus pounds on this model and it has held up beautifully.

It's pretty strong, but will sag, so you may have to have it pretty tight between the uprights. My large dogs ran into it a lot (it was around the in ground pool) and it never tore or split.

Yes. I believe they advise not to exveed 300 lbs. But that may have been referring to the limitation of the hammock I purchased as well.

I'm not sure about 300, but it was not at all a problem for a 230 lb person. It is very sturdy and I would guess it would work for 300 lbs.
