My buddy had one even smaller...maybe 7' long and more square..he weighed a good 250 if not more and i was probably around buck 20 at the time...we fished the heck out of that boat. Had the seats that really put you above the deck and never once felt unsafe in it...nice thing about it is he and i would find those lakes ( ponds) in the middle of woods that u could barley walk to and carry it down ajd slay those fish...sounds like a dang good price.
