Purchased 9/2017 thru Walmart $215 free ship to store, came a day early, in fine condition, all extras present. I'm right at 250 lbs and I would say is about the practical limit. I bought for solo trips to the lake as my canoe is is bit much for loading by myself and for this the kayak is perfect. Plenty stable, however compared to my 14.6' Guide canoe, it felt like a pool toy...at first.. but once acclimated and accepting what it is (a 10ft kayak with a 250lb dude in it) it is all good. I feel comfortable to cross a fair size lake with powerboat traffic to get to the fishing coves... Pretty comfortable for a few hours, I added a foam Walmart pad and the the foam golf ball-scupper plugs are a must and work well. BTW, the kayak fits INSIDE my 100 series Land Cruiser.. no power lift and strap to the rack..but at 52lbs vs. 80 for the canoe it shouldn't be an issue...in all, I'm happy with it. If planning an all day/weekend trip I would likely take the canoe, but for a half day outing solo, for me it's ideal.
