[quote=DamonLinkous]Go for it. I've sailed my Hobie 18 with much more than 500 pounds a lot of times, that's just with two on board. I've also surf launched with 4 adults on board (the wings help with room) total est weight +600.
You won't win any races, but that boat is plenty strong, you just will sit a little low in the water. In 12 mph wind you'll need to balance the weight, put your crew on the leward side. Dragging the crew through the water is a lot of fun. (for the skipper)[/quote]
