[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 466635, member: 22613"] I forget what the capacity tag said as far as weight goes. I fished with two others in mine (500lbs of people) and it was all the boat wanted. Would not plane with the 9.8 that I had on it at the time, and that was before I extended the deck. 2 adults is optimal IMO. Fishing solo, I felt that the boat was plenty stable walking around on deck. You can't run around and jump on it like you could on a 20' bass boat, but once you get accustomed to how the boat reacts and moves with your weight, it was no problem. I am not light (220lbs), and could stand on the edge of the deck with no worries of capsizing. Your floor will be fine. I really liked that boat, even though it was pretty beat from the previous owners, it didn't leak a drop when I got it, and only started seeping a little after a year of pounding the heck out of it. I used it most often on a big, windy lake. I got just shy of 30mph with that Johnson 25 and all the added weight from my additions, including a group 29 battery and the bow mount troller. It was super dry as well, wish I could say the same for the 17' Tracker that I have now. [/QUOTE]
