Hi,
I'm looking at buying a used MR Independence. Can anyone with experience tell me the practical weight limit for this boat? I know the advertised specs say 700lbs I generally divide the advertised capacity by 2/3. That would make my estimate about 465lbs. Is even that overly optimistic? I weigh in about 300 and am looking for a solo boat for day trips, overnights and maybe 3-4 nights in the Adirondacks. I doubt I'll be able to test paddle the boat before I make a decision and would prefer not to bother having to resell the boat if it's not going to work for me.
Thanks
