[QUOTE="Lawdog, post: 129980, member: 2729"] We're all 200+, prolly over 230# when geared up for hunting (waders and such). Two guys it will run 15-17 against current and 20-22 with it. I'm running in a relatively mild river here. Three guys slows it a bit, say 12-14 upriver. Once, we ran 4 guys (three big), two dogs, 4 loads of gear, about 3 doz dekes... We were "walking speed" in the strongest current and gunnels were about 6-8 inches off the water. I felt like Worf: "Prepare for ramming speed!" So, there is a practical limit of 3 guys and we lighten the gear up a bit as needed. [/QUOTE]
