[#0000ff]I fish in the Fat Cats, which are rated at 300 pounds. I am a few pounds under that but by the time I add all of my gear I exceed it for sure. I float high and dry with no apparent problems with floatation.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]A big pontoon will definitely float more weight than a smaller float tube. But there are more issues than that to consider. [/#0000ff]
