Terra 116 PDL weight capacity: 475 lbs usable
The Terra 116 PDL carries 475 lbs of usable weight — that's the self-bailing scupper limit, so the kayak stays dry up to that load.
The Terra 116 PDL has a usable weight capacity of 475 lbs. That's the self-bailing limit of the scuppers, so the kayak stays dry up to that load.
What 475 lbs gets you
The Terra 116 sits between the Outpost 100 (400 lbs) and the Outpost 128 (500 lbs) on payload. At 11'6" length with a SUP-style hull profile, the Terra carries a meaningful angler-plus-gear load while staying nimble on smaller water.
Practical payload picture for a typical setup:
- Angler: 220 lbs
- PFD, paddle, tackle: 25 lbs
- Cooler + ice: 40 lbs
- Battery and small fish finder: 18 lbs
- Stern trolling motor (Newport NK180 Pro): 35 lbs
That's 338 lbs — well under the threshold, with room to add a Power-Pole, rods, or a Quad Rail accessory mount.
How this compares to the rest of the lineup
| Model | Usable capacity | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Outpost 100 PDL | 400 lbs | 10' |
| Terra 116 PDL | 475 lbs | 11'6" |
| Outpost 128 PDL | 500 lbs | 12'8" |
The Terra is the sweet spot for anglers who want the SUP-flat standing platform for sight casting, the extra freeboard over the Outpost 100, and a payload that handles tournament gear without going to the full 12'8" Outpost 128.
Scupper-bailing as the published limit
The 475 figure is the scupper threshold — load below it and water drains out of the cockpit at the foot wells; load above it and water starts to pool. The boat floats well past that number, but 475 lbs is where it stops being a dry boat to fish from.
