: So, with me at 290 + the 50-60 lb boat + 10 lbs of gear = 350-360. That still
: leaves plenty of room with a True North if I ever do a trip.

: The worst of my problems would be if I dropped a few pounds and was at the
: low end of it's capacity and it's stability/ride became a problem. That's
: a problem I wouldn't mind having.

: Thanks for your help Ken!

I don't think that would present a problem. I have (or had) a Resolute with a designed displacement of 260lbs and an optimum capacity of 130 to 250lbs but I only weigh 125lbs and the Resolute handles me very well.
