I think a lot of pros carry a spare trolling motor,extra prop,20-25 rod/reel combo plus tools and 15-30 plano boxes...not sure about 1200 lbs but I believe 700-800 lbs of tackle and other gear is possible.... 1200# may be a little high. I emptied my boat a couple months ago and put all the stuff into big tubs from Home Depot. The soft plastics alone was over 80#. Terminal tackle & hard baits were about 60#. Rods, reels, and all the other junk we accumulate in every compartment, probably 80-100#. I would say easily 250 pounds of junk came out of my boat.

If he had half that his boat would struggle to even plane out. Proably more like a hundred or so. I got all day I’m retired

He'd used it for halibut, crabbing, and other northeastern species. He had a milk crate full of lead ball sinkers the size of hand grenades, I think they're one pounders, stashed in a rear hatch he didn't even know was there.
