wow, with the maximum capacity at 250 by the time you get a motor and bait tank on board with all your gear many of us would be pushing the max. I'm 195lbs, a five gallon bait tank filled is going to be close to 50lbs, then the rest of my gear and I would be overloaded. I'm going to need a bigger boat.

ahhh, the fine print. Even at 400lbs there are some big boys out there who are going to be pushing the limits. That does make a lot more sense though. Old eyes and not zooming let me miss that part.

Just waiting on a few more folks to get their skiffs dialed in and become comfortable with the ride. It takes some getting used to riding with and against open water swells and wakes.
