I have a kayak that weighs 77lbs. Will I be pushing it safety wise?

I think you would be ok they are pretty strong it just depends on your racks on your vehicle best to check with car manufacturer

Probably not these are pretty sturdy, What I don't like about them is they don't fold down so in order for me to fit my vehicle in the garage I have to take them off every time after I use them.

I think it would be fine. My kayak is fairly flat bottomed. The dolly needs to be on the center of whatever you are pulling and it needs to be strapped tight.

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.

no sure I purchased mine to haul my Kayak that weighs about 75lbs. Very strong rack and easy to mount

According to the description on Amazon.com, the maximum weight it can hold is 250 lbs. so you should be alright. It doesn't say anything about limits on how tall a person is. However, having tried out this kayak as a woman who only weighs 130 lbs, I would say get a sturdier kayak if you are 205 lbs. because what if you want to carry any additional gear with you for hiking, camping, or picnicing? You'd be pushing the limit.

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.

No it won't. The wings have rubber strips which keep the kayak in place. They do not allow sliding.

This this hitch being rated with a 300lb tongue weight and 3000 towing capacity my best guess would be yes. I'm using it to tow a 600lb Jet ski, your kayak might weigh 100lbs with the trailer if your lucky.

not unless you want to plummet to your death. Just saying, it is very light duty great for kayak rigging.

I believe 300 lbs. The main stress is on your vertical rack system, which depends on your vehicle. Mine is a 2007 Ford Edge and I think it is at capacity with my 2-seater kayak. The strap system has to be re-tightened constantly as normal wind from driving as well as bumps can shake it loose. If your rack is well attached to your vehicle, you should be okay. I got custom U-bolts, as my factory rack (verticals) were wider than the brackets on holders. If you need me to send pictures regarding what I'm talking about, send me an e-mail to joelottdesign@yahoo.com. Thanks

220 should be fine. It says 250lbs is the limit. A friend who weighed 250 used our kayak and managed fine.

Your weight wont be an issue, but you height may be. I am 6' 190, and with the adjustable foot pegs all the way at the bottom, in narrows to where my toes are cramped by the top of the kayak. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I did not put any real strain on it other than as a strap for hanging a 60# kayak off the wall. Suggest you contact the manufacturer to get load limit/working load data. This stuff is strong, but since I don't have a clue what you are going to stress it to.....

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.

Has not been a problem. The unit is heavy enough and has a low center of gravity and seems stable. I use it in a canoe.

My son, whom we bought this kayak for, weighed 227 at the time and had no problems with it.
