I've had some extra large crew members on my boat, it was a very tight fit for them to squeeze into the cabin. No problem with the seat over the sink and stove handling a large crew member, however I don't use the passenger foot rest! I'm sure it would handle the weight but that is where I keep a cooler and it is easier to access the seat from the cooler due to the height. I've had to let the oversized crew go due to them wanting to get paid by the pound and I could no longer afford there service! Just kidding. You will have no problem enjoy your boat and remember with a 6.8 beam netting the fish have the crewmember with the pole on the other side of the boat, they can look at the catch once it's in the fish box. Enjoy and good luck! Bob
