My prowler is HEAVY but I leave my battery, milk crate loaded, duffle bag with soft plastics, and an anchor in 24/7 I carry it with it loaded like that sometimes even with all 8 rods laying in it if I'm going far. I have a dolly though which helps a little. My buddy has the ride 115 and he's got a fraction of what I have and only takes one rod he's not any faster then mine is.
It is a comfy paddle though I've have a few 8-10hr days in mine never sore other then sun burnt
