Total weight would only be 150 pounds, but the kayaks are 14 to >17 feet in length. We tore 3 holes in the bottom of a 14' Folboat paddling through old stumps in the Santee Cooper Lakes once. Sunk it right to the bottom, which was fortunately only 2 feet down. We were rescued by a duck hunter in a 12' jon boat, who carried us a couple of miles back to the landing with the Folboat sitting perpendicular across his gunwales. Seems like a 25' Grady White could do at least as well.
