[QUOTE="SD Fishing, post: 402294, member: 20226"] I posted this info in another thread about weight limit concerns but the info seems relevant to Rich posted above. I did a float test on the boat with the new deck, seats, etc. the other day and it was fine. I had a total weight load of 835-850 lbs (way more than I will ever haul) but I wanted to see what my limit was. At that weight the boat was completely fine. The water never came up over the waterline ridge. It wasn't any more "tippy" than it was without all of the weight. I would never recommend adding 800+ lbs to a 12' tin, but at the end of the day mine handled it fine. My final ride weight will be around 550 lbs (additions, motor, dog, myself, gear, etc) so everything will be within a safe operating weight limit. [/QUOTE]
