Is anybody carrying one or more passengers on an AI-1 or and AI-2?

If so, your weight? Their weight?

Pete, I had an AI-1 with tramps. I weigh 165, and carried passengers on the tramps from 100-200 lbs. They'll get wet (ie sitting in the water), but it's doable.

I had six people on my TI last weekend. 400ish lbs. in the main hull and probably 150-200 lbs. on each tramp. Hobie way underestimates what the carrying capacity of our boats is.

Yea the TI is definately the family fun boat to get. We used to do a lot of Canoeing when I was young, and when my kids were young. Sure wish we had something like the TI back then. Back then it was either canoes or row boats, I don't ever recall seeing a kayak till much later.

Thanks - that's what I was hoping to hear.

Not that I intend to do it on any sort of regular basis.... but if somebody says "Can I have a ride?".... or if some SUP paddler or windsurfer is in trouble...

I've had an extra guy on the back of my AI 2014, motor & all, fishing. The only problem is that the rudder tubes will be under water and you will take in water over time, need to bail every 2-3 hours. Good time on a calm day though, we have had two Dorado's hooked up and bringing them in at the same time. The TI obviously is the better solution for additional passengers.
