Too much weight isn't an issue...
Whether you fit or not is!
Also, what do you want to do with it? A medium-cut Acrobat I can use as a river runner (at 165lbs). Those with *a bit* more weight could use it as a true squirt boat. I'm not sure if it would quite be a destination downtime machine, though.
So, for stern and bow squirts, you should be fine with a full cut acro. You could most likely mystery it as well, though it might not be a real sinker.
One thing to rememeber with Acrobats-there are two different factors-1) Standard or Master cut (Master is shorter, Standard is the "normal" 11+ feet), and then the cut for the paddler (mine is actually medium cut (standard) for 165. I also have a boat low cut (master) for 175. COMPLETELY different-acting boat.
Good luck regardless! The Acrobat is a GREAT boat.
