Easily handles 200-250 pounds. Rolls well enough. I would have loved air in the tires, but these wheels have got me over some pretty rough terrain without any issue. The screw that holds the kickstand is a little sharp. It could scratch you, or if you've got it in your kayak with you while you are fishing, just keep your fishing line away from that screw. The foam pads on the supports are nice and gentle for kayaks to rest on. The knobs on the adjustable clamp plates are easy to grip. It is fairly big. If your kayak is small, probably get a smaller cart - especially if you need to put it in the kayak with you. If your kayak is big, this is great and there is no reason to spend more money - unless you really, really want air in the tires.
