how much weight will this float hold. I'm a fattie and I will be using this on the river in Fl. for a long time, I hope.??

Hello Well, my husband and I both squeezed onto the float together for a picture. We were a bit wide for the float, but it worked. And it held our combined 420 lbs. with no problem. Very seaworthy. Just an FYI:when on the float, you sit very much above the water. No part of me gets wet unless I splash myself or get splashed. I'm 5'9" and it's plenty long. Hope this helps.

My hubby is 6'3" and weighs 245 lbs. He floated just fine! You sit quite high in the raft, almost to the point that you are not wet!

My husband is 230 lbs and he was able to use it comfortably. It didnt seem like it was even close to sinking or deflating :)

Avoid. My eighty pound son and his friends tore the arms off with a little ruff housing. Hope this helps.:)

I weigh only 185 myself (at 6 ft) and at this weight, only the bottom portion of my butt gets wet and thats only when I first land on it when I get in! It holds a LOT of air so it should support a lot of weight! The wrap around part of the chair makes it very seaworthy even in choppy water.

It's pretty stout. I only weight 140, but I can use it without even getting my clothes wet if I want to read on it. (With some effort in balancing). Have fun!

I am not exactly sure. I would say between 2-4 lbs. I used mine for 3 days in the lazy river at the Mandalay Bay and it held up really well! I deflated it and put it away for this summer! It was great!

I believe it was 650. lbs. but the real issue is if you get sea sick... LOL... I loved the boat, but my ex got seasick on our grand adventure with our lunches out to sea.... There was plenty of room for two big people and places for fishing rods... This was a great little boat to get started and I was living on the water so I needed something I couldcarry by myself out to the dock, where I inflated and went down the river.

As far as weight goes, you should be fine. My boat and trailer gross at about 4400 lbs, but tongue weight is significantly less. You will have to measure the trailer tongue to see how it will bolt up

Yes, I weigh 150 and cruise around by myself all the time. Also sometimes my son comes with me, he weighs about 130. Either way, works great. Really am happy with it. I've only used it on lakes.

Don't know how much it weighs, but I do imagine it can float on water. It is quite lightweight.

I got on the scale last night (not pretty), and the paddle weighs 2.6 lbs. TOTAL. Not a heavy paddle at all.

I don't think weight would be an issue. It is based on your height. I weigh 190 and I've cruised around on it just to test it out, and it holds up fine.

Agree with Gonzo, I was 250-270lbs when I took it out last summer. Only used it once (due to time constraints) for fishing in a calm, small river. Worked great for my purposes.

It should be just fine as long as you understand that the shorter the boat the less stable. I play with mine in the main Salmon river Idaho and on lakes. I have flipped mine a few times horsing around.Out in larger chop I have extra floatation and a pump. This boat is a bitch to drain if your out from shore and flip it. I have a skirt for mine and that's real sweet. Bottom line it's light and very versital.

I'm 5'2" 125# this is an excellent board for me. I've only fallen once, and have used it for three eight mile float trips, and lots of shorter trips on the milder portions of the Colorado River (Parker Strip). It weighs 50# but after a month of using it, I can pick it up and carry it upstairs by myself. I am 61 years old. I'm guessing your wife will love it.

I am not sure what the weight rating on the tires is? I don't know that I would push the weight rating more than maybe 100lbs. Also this will sit under the cart best when the boat has a keel (to fit into the slight V on the cart.) without knowing the weight or shape of this boat, I can't answer this well, but it is pretty versatile, and should be able to dolly a wide variety of items, soooo, most likely?

My husband weighs approx 200 lbs & it holds him well above the water. This is a good quality float.

It would absolutely survive a river run. There are some sturdy loops you can use to connect this to others. We've had one for about 7 years now and use it heavily for lounging out in the lake all summer long. It's faded and worn looking, but structurally great. It's the "anchor" for our flotilla too. We connect an anchor and 2 to 5 more floats to it. It's awesome!

The package says it weighs 400lbs but once you get it together it's about 100lbs maybe a little more.. but it floats really well I love it..

The recommended weight limit is 400 pounds. I weigh 230 lbs. and have no problem with it at all. It handles very well.I have used it now for 1 1/2 months & love it. It's perfect for a small lake.

The float is for a child. It is almost too small for my daughter. She is 5'1" and around 75lb.
