Well, I don't know if I had that much weight in there but it must have been
close. I was more impressed with the capacity and my packing ability. I play
in a band and managed to fit all of the following in my 85' GL with the
middle seat still in:
1 - 5 piece drum set including all stands and cymbals
4 - guitars in cases
2 - light racks fully loaded with lights
2 - 18" PA speaker cabinets
2 - 15" PA speaker cabinets
4 - Wedge style floor monitors
1 - 24 channel mixing board
1 - Large PA equipment rack (this thing weighs like 200lbs alone)
7 - Microphone stands
1 - 100 ft. PA snake
3 - Rubber made medium size storage containers
1 - saxophone case
1- small suitcase
1 - fog machine
3 - Guitar/Bass amps
2 - Guitar/Bass speaker cabinets

And myself - barely. I have also on another occasion fit 8 or 9 very cold,
drunk, wet canoers! I love my bus!!!!!
