Best answer: at the most 250lbs water wheeler paddle boat my mom has a water wheeler 2 peson boat, it has a capacity of 550 pounds. look for the capacity plate on the side of hull. it might be neer the driers seat or painted over. my guess for weight capacity would be 350 to 550 pounds total. that includes up to 2 people and gear. Look for something in the 12' or bigger size. you bought a small, cheap kayak and are pushing the weight and size limit. i am 5'10" and 200 lbs and i paddle a 9' kayak, and i do fine on it, but i could see even another 20-30 lbs being an issue tho. i know lots of guys around 250 and even a bit heavier who are fine in their bigger boats.. I am about your weight and have one boat with a 250 limit and i would be very selective about where when and how i paddled it. the boat won't sink just because you're 10# over buy there are plenty of boats with higher limits. tell us what boats are you looking at and you can get better advice.
Contour boats size guide. the following are the specs for the contour boats. the cadet is 80″ long and 58″ wide. it weighs 85 lbs. the capacity is for 2 and the maximum weight capacity is 550 lbs. the cadet 3 seater dimensions are 80″ x 58″ and weighs 95 lbs. its capacity is 550 lbs. it is suited for three people.. Pretty much every kayak lists a weight capacity. a common misunderstanding is the number and what it means. if a kayak lists a weight capacity at 350 pounds, that doesn’t mean a 350 pound person can paddle it. the weight capacity indicates the amount of weight a kayak can hold and still float.. Within these limits. • make sure your drain plug is secure. the drain plug is in the center bow of the boat just below the rubrail. weight 117 lbs. 53 kg capacity 825 lbs. 374 kg also features: • super tough paddle wheel • closed cell polystyrene foam flotation • adhesive sealant between pedal boat-owner's manual.
