Should be fine but depends on what type and size kayaks you are talking about. I use mine for a hobie pro angler and a hobie revolution. The pro angler is over 130 pounds with all my gear in it.

According to their website the max displacement is 300lbs, However being some brands of kayaks will rate there just under that actually weight limit while some will have quite a bit of room for error up to 100lbs see the link for all the specs on this kayak http://www.riotkayaks.com/escape12_detail.php

I think 200 lb is about the limit. I was ten under that when I purchased the kayak and had no problem, and it could have taken another ten pounds. You have to make sure not to over inflate if using an electrical pump. A manual pump won't give you that problem.

Could not tell you, I mounted mine on my trailer. I can say though that I bought two sets for my jackson 14 cuda's and they hold up very well. My kayaks each weigh 70 lbs and the racks have had no problems. Owned now for almost a year and going strong.

I am 5'10"&185lbs,and fit fairly comfortably in this kayak. As I mentioned in my review,I would estimate a person of 6' would be about max,given the limited leg and foot room in this kayak.I would suggest a sit on top kayak for a 260lb person as a comfortable alternative to a conventional kayak.

I don't have a exact tongue weight capacity but it is a heavy duty hitch that I installed on the rear of our 5th wheel trailer just to pull a 16' boat I am going to guess at least 500lb?

I weigh a little less than 200 lbs and this kayak handles my weight without a problem. I don't have any experience with other kayaks but I'm confident this 12 footer would handle larger users as well as any of them. Getting in and out is the tricky part with any kayak but I have found the Riot to be really stable. I would suggest checking out the various websites that give tips on best methods for getting in and out of kayaks and how to best operate them. Before making your final purchase decision I would also recommend trying out various kayaks. Rent a couple and see how they perform. I hope this information helps.

I'm 5'8'' and the one kayak I haul around is about 62lbs. I have a Jeep Liberty, with the racks it's about 72-ish inches. When the loaders were working properly - suction cups secure, and the track not hanging up - I didn't have any problems loading it or getting it into the cradles. However, I do carry around a small step stool with me. Once the loaders are at the top, I get on the step stool to push the kayak into the cradles.

Should be able to handle a 16 ft kayak. You push the kayak/canoe like a wheel barrow.

I have a 52 lbs kayak on it. Several people have recommended switching the mounting bolts to heavier duty ones. The brackets seem sturdy enough, it will depend on what you will attach it to.

The recommended weight limit is 400 pounds. I weigh 230 lbs. and have no problem with it at all. It handles very well.I have used it now for 1 1/2 months & love it. It's perfect for a small lake.

It should hold the weight easily. I weigh 230 and often use the rig with a kayak on it as a seat. The secret will be adding another tie down to the rig to secure the first kayak. If not added even for a single kayak the kayak will tend to move around. Then I would secure the second kayak with either strong bungee cords or some other adjustable tie downs.

I think its about 14 feet, which is the size of my kayak, it depends on how you balance it, the boat centers over the axle so you have some play there. You have to make sure there is enough weight on the nose to keep it from swaying. Since I bought my Paddle Boy I haven't used my car to get to the water and I have a 10 mile round trip.

I believe the manufacturer says 100#. My kayaks are only half that though...

I am not an expert canoeist but it weighs about 100 lbs. It is tough plastic. Mine flew out of trailer and just got scratched up a bit at 60 mph. I love it.
