Terra 116 weight: 77 lbs rigged, 89 lbs with seat
The Terra 116 weighs about 77 lbs rigged without the seat. The seat adds another 12 lbs, so fully rigged with the Horizon Pro Seat it's about 89 lbs.
The Terra 116 weighs about 77 lbs rigged without the seat. The seat itself adds another 12 lbs, so fully rigged with seat the Terra is about 89 lbs.
Why the seat is broken out separately
The Horizon Pro Seat clips in and out of the Terra in a few seconds — it's not a fixed part of the hull. Most owners drop the seat in once at the put-in and pull it for transport or storage, so the rigged-without-seat number is the one that matters for car-topping or loading the boat onto a trailer solo.
That gives you two practical weights:
- Hull + Traverse Fatback Rudder System (no seat): ~77 lbs
- Fully rigged, ready to fish: ~89 lbs
If you add the Traverse Pedal Drive or a fin drive, that's an additional weight that lives in the drive well — you can pull it for transport too.
How this stacks up
The Terra 116 is the lightest rigid in the lineup. The Outpost 100 sits a bit higher, and the Outpost 128 — at 12'8" with bigger gunwales and an electronics pod — is heaviest. The Terra's lighter weight is one reason it ports better solo on roof racks and shorter trailers.
What this means for loading
89 lbs is a solo lift for most adult anglers in good shape, but it's not nothing. A few tips:
- Pull the seat first — 77 lbs is markedly easier to handle than 89
- Use the side carry handles — the molded handles are positioned at the boat's balance point
- A small kayak cart (YakAttack TowNStow is what we recommend) drops the carry weight to wheel-and-balance instead of dead lift
- Roof-loading: a step stool or assist bar makes the final lift much safer for the boat and your shoulders
