"The Summit Goliath is rated to 350 pounds, and I saw Travis "T Bone" Turner sit in one and he was well over 500. The Goliath is a great stand and will serve you not only well.......but safely. I assure you. Enjoy!"

So yourecommend people disregard the saftey load limits? It would not be to difficult for the 325 guy to exceed the 350 rating. Boots alone are heavy. On a rainy day he'd for sure pack on some pounds. The 500# guy, whoever he is, is most likley not known for his intelegence.And if I had anything to do with a stand company, wouldn't use as a role model.[8D]
