I use it to carry stuff from my bigger raft. It can hold one skinny adult on it good. My friend weights about 200 lb and it did hold him fine. But when he got of the raft he fell into the water. I tow it from my bigger raft which can fit 5 people. on this small raft I put beers, air pump, and other stuff I might need. Excellent, easy to patch. I did not use the patch that came with it when it had a hole. I used a better one with cement boat repair. Nothing can beat its price. very very happy.
