I have 67lb Kayak and it's perfect. Supports are vee and may not work well on flat bottom. I think 130lbs would be ok.

LOVE IT! This works so great. We live in Belize and use it all the time and you should have no problem with your paddle boat. Once you get the biat strapped on its so easy and light! I do suggest buying some heaver straps if you using it for anythng bigger but everyhing that comes with this works. Snap on the wheels, strap on the boat and wheel away, over san, rocks...easy day! One person can easily handle it once strapped on tight, but two make it easier to go over larger rocks...just life, then set back down. Again, we love it. Oh and folds right back up and strapped to out kayack so it does not get stolden. LOVE IT! This works so great.

I used it with a kayak. For the price I think you could try it. You could ask to be able to return it if it doesn't work

Yes although most reviewers reported problems with them. I personally have not, but got a longer paddle given the boat's wide width (230 cm). Also got a small electric pump (airhead) which inflates to .92 psi, just what the kayak requires.

I use it for a 16ft fiberglass canoe. Can load and unload by myself pretty easy

I have a Intex Seahawk 4 boat and it says (on the boat) "Max motor weight-18lbs". I think the Excursion ones are about the same. The Intex Mariner 4 is said to handle a motor weighing up to 40 lbs, but that's the biggest. I've used a 40 lbs thrust electric motor that weighs ~25 lbs on my Seahawk where it went pretty good after some adjusting. I adjusted the motor depth to have the motor fully submerged, but only ~18 inches deep rather than near the full 30 inches the shaft was. The reason I did that was because the motor shaft acts like a lever where the further away the motor is, the more leverage it has against the little rubbery motor mounts joints on the boat that the tubes from this go thru. So not giving it so much leverage was "taking it easy" on the boats mount joints. I don't know if you can adjust such on yours, but this newer plastic board design (versus the old wood ones) has a much better chance of holding up. I say that because another guy tried such an engine with the old one and said "The board slid down the tubes and broke the tubes", the plastic board won't slide now because the u-bolts go between some "ribs".

Based on the cart's approximate displacement (surface area (11 SF) x side ht (1.25 LF) x Wt of Water (64 Lb/CFt ) the cart should carry around 800 Lbs before taking on water, so 50 lbs shouldn't be a problem at all, unless you get in heavy seas! I can't get to the cart at the present time to measure all dimensions (listed dimensions aren't sufficient for determination of displacement), but that being said, the 800 lb number is probably a tad low, since I was purposely conservative.Good Luck with the boating excursion.

I have one with a 2.5 horsepower motor that pushes this boat pretty well. Its not a race boat but probably moves it around 10 knots or so. 3.5 horsepower motor should do even better. Like the product.

I use it to haul an 80 lb canoe. It holds it no problem. I'm not sure about 140lb though. Good luck with that.

It is very manageable with just one paddler. I do most of my paddling in it alone and never have any problem.

It is very lightweight. I'm bad at guessing weights, but 3lbs maybe? I'm a very small person and have no issues using this paddle. Durable, lightweight, and works very well. No complaints!

I'm not sure that this would be stable enough for what you need if you're referring to a 2-person pedal boat because the wheel base is fairly short. The boat may also be too heavy.

Definitely. It's comfortable, stable, rigid and easy .We had two people in it and only one could paddle - no problem

I use mine for a 14' Jon Boat and it handles it fine. I installed a front wooden rail so I could strap the front of the boat down. Towed the boat over 200 miles last summer with no problems.

2,000 lbs. I use it on the trailer winch for a 16' Stumpnocker boat. No problems.

it (the motor) is very light, but the battery that you will need is CRAZY heavy. If you put the battery in the center of the paddle boat (I remember my parents one had a space in back) it will be ok. Those batteries weigh about 50lbs. They are called deep cycle batteries and should be hooked up to a battery tender while not in use. Batteries Plus Lights helped me pick the right one and a matching tender. I use the motor on a small fishing boat only every other weekend and I have had no problem since I got the "tender". Nice lil motor, I'm very happy with it.

Yes... the weight rating should be good, and as long as you place the middle of the boat on the cart, it rolls beautifully. My only gripe is that the wheels get hooked on larger rocks on a rough trail, but running this on asphalt is a breeze.

The answer below at 400 lbs is the weight the boat can carry. The answer at 76 lbs is correct.

the boat is four feet wide,the weight limit is. 2 persons or 460 lbs. The max weight is 550lbs with people gear and motor. 5hp is the limit on the motor
