[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 282222, member: 6657"] I think you have your capacities mixed up. 220 lbs. people and 280 lbs. max capacity sounds more like it. This doesn't mean 500 lbs. max capacity, it's 220 for the people and 60 lbs. of gear. Jon boats don't get to the 500 lb. max capacity until you get up to the 1432 and then it's only 480 lb. max capacity. In case you're interested 10' jons are only rated for a 3 hp. motor. 10' jons are very "tippy" and it's very easy to take an unintended swim in one, especially with 2 people. If I was you I'd look for a bit bigger boat. [/QUOTE]
