139 pounds. I'm a 55 year old woman, 5'8" and about 132 pounds. I love the kayak.

I think they only have an 840 pound limit. If your boat and trailer exceed that, it would be unsafe.

Two people can use this kayak comfortably. I think there is a weight limit though.

I am not sure of the exact weight, but it is very manageable! I am a short female with, what I like to think, average strength and maneuvering this kayak in and out of the house, car, and water is simple enough. I hope this helped at least a bit.

It's easily strong enough to hold a couple kayaks. Just tie them down. You'll be fine.

I suggest you never, ever use this kayak anywhere. It fills with water. To get the water out you have to turn it upside down.

It will easily hold up to 300 lbs if properly inflated. Whether you will be able to comfortably stand up and paddle around is another story. I am over 280 and have trouble staying up and staying balanced, and my son is even taller and about as heavy, and has the same trouble. We have more fun using it as a kayak sitting on it and paddling around.

250lb is the listed maximum weight. Anyway, I'm really frustrated by my Kayak right now. I just took it out for the first time, and it sprung a leak, on the top mind you, within 5 minutes of me getting out on the water. I'll use the included patch kit, so see if I can fix it, and report back.

According to the description on Amazon.com, the maximum weight it can hold is 250 lbs. so you should be alright. It doesn't say anything about limits on how tall a person is. However, having tried out this kayak as a woman who only weighs 130 lbs, I would say get a sturdier kayak if you are 205 lbs. because what if you want to carry any additional gear with you for hiking, camping, or picnicing? You'd be pushing the limit.

I bought mine last fall and have not used them. I will next week for a 60# plastic sea kayak. I have checked it out and feel that's its well made and should be able to handle about anything you can fit on them

I have a 52 lbs kayak on it. Several people have recommended switching the mounting bolts to heavier duty ones. The brackets seem sturdy enough, it will depend on what you will attach it to.

It should hold the weight easily. I weigh 230 and often use the rig with a kayak on it as a seat. The secret will be adding another tie down to the rig to secure the first kayak. If not added even for a single kayak the kayak will tend to move around. Then I would secure the second kayak with either strong bungee cords or some other adjustable tie downs.

I would say 230 is probably best but it also depends on the width of your kayak. In most cases I would say 230 is best. 240cm might be good if your kayak is like 34+ inches wide. Yes it depends on what kind of kayaking you're doing too. If you're maneuvering white water, maybe shorter 220cm.

Hey Luis:I am 6-0, 235 so I hear you. Short answer is it will be kind of tight, but you could probably make it work. I leave the seat out bc it takes room and isn't necessary and also zip up the cockpit cover AFTER I'm in the boat and it seems to work out OK. I"ve taken it out for 2-3 hours and been fine. I honestly don't know what other kayak I'd recommend. One reason I got this was at 10 feet long, it was among the longest inflatables I found.

This this hitch being rated with a 300lb tongue weight and 3000 towing capacity my best guess would be yes. I'm using it to tow a 600lb Jet ski, your kayak might weigh 100lbs with the trailer if your lucky.

I weigh a little less than 200 lbs and this kayak handles my weight without a problem. I don't have any experience with other kayaks but I'm confident this 12 footer would handle larger users as well as any of them. Getting in and out is the tricky part with any kayak but I have found the Riot to be really stable. I would suggest checking out the various websites that give tips on best methods for getting in and out of kayaks and how to best operate them. Before making your final purchase decision I would also recommend trying out various kayaks. Rent a couple and see how they perform. I hope this information helps.
