Roughly 450 lbs.

Figure it'll support the weight of the volume of water it can displace. 55 gallons of water displaced would put it just under the surface of the water. 8 pints in a gallon, so 440 pints. A pint of water weighs a pound, so 440 lbs. so it can support less than 440 lbs.

I'd get a pirogue and hunt out of it before I got in a drum. shite, you can get a 10 ft. jon boat and rig up something.
