I like the idea of more rocker in the front especially if I was go to with the 16' 2" version.

Understanding the design load of the 15' 2" version is 260 lbs, how much would the performance be affected if it was loaded up to 280 or 300 lbs?

I'd be interested too, but I also average around 200lbs so for a trip I would be getting close to the 260lb upper design load. If the dog came along, then I'd definitely be over that load.
