First I would like to say that I think this site is great. I have gotten alot of good info from this site. I plan on purchasing a Tracker Topper 1436 Jon Boat. I was reading the person weight capacity and the total weight capacity.
Person weight capacity is: 375
Total weight capacity is: 580
Now, with me weighing 225, and my son who weighs 200, plus the weight of 5/8s plywood for decking up front and batteries, it looks like I will exceed the weight limit. I have read most of the forums where I see guys weighing as much as 320 pounds with a buddy and the boat is decked out with a front casting platform. Is this weight really accurate for these boats?
