[C320-list] Stern Rail Seat Weight Limit?

[Jeff Hare]

We've had that concern a few times also.  Without a brace, you're really pushing it.  I'm sure you see the seat/rail flexing.  It made me cringe, especially when they would "crash land" into the rail seat instead of just sitting down carefully, but didn't say anything at the time and it didn't appear to have been bent, but I don't think we were much above the 275 range though.  We're careful to not offer it up these days if that's likely to be a concern.

When we take guests out sometimes a guest is quite large (like 300lbs+ large). I avoid having them sit on the stern rail/ observation seats, is there a weight limit on these seats or are my concerns unwarranted?
