Very cool!
I'm intrigued due to my health but....
Is the Solo weight capacity 400 lbs?
Sounds like it wouldn't take much to exceed that?
Yes/No?

Damn that's cool

Awesome! I'm in Baja right now (La Ventana) was in Agua Verde this morning- talk about a great spot for a solo skiff- isla catalan too far but lots of spots nearby- CF numbers easy to do?

It's 400 pounds person, gear, motor, etc. On the solo skiff website there are pictures of it getting Coast Guard certified with 1500 pounds of weight sitting in it, and it was still floating above the gunwales. The motor will immediately take 60 pounds of it, but I'm thinking if someone is much over 250 pounds this boat is not for them.

Getting CF numbers was super easy at AAA. Just had to bring in the certificate that came with the boat, and the receipts for the boat and motor (or they'll charge you tax again). Had to go home and back, because I forgot the checkbook - but I live close. Like the DMV, they only take cash or check, and I filled out the check to the DMV.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to your and others reviews.
Have you decided on seating and how you might be able to load it atop your lumber rack? Not having a boat on a trailer would make it possible for me and others to securely store it.
