If you go back to my first reply - I said I limit my "Seat Weight" to 360
lbs. That's total for both seats! Now being that the seats are side by side
- I have found through various weights in the right and left seats it
doesn't make any difference how you distribute that weight, so I would
extrapolate from that, that up to 360 lbs on the center line should be just
fine.

Don't know how I can make it any plainer!

My particular situation is 145/150# left seat, 210# Right seat and I didn't
notice any imbalance requiring a stick deflection. I have a header tank, I
would think that if you had a fuel inbalance in wing tanks it would be
noticeable.

Solo from the left seat it handles the same except it climbs faster and
requires a little more up trim.

Thank you. I mean all things considered as follows:
2 seat 1 occupant in either seat; would this equal a single
centered seat single occupant or does the weight have
to be distributed side to side for max carrying capability.

Please excuse my ignorance. Yes thats exactly what you did.
For some unknown reason I misinterpeted your simple explanation
to mean the heaviest weight from each seat taken solo since
my current operations manual from a different aircraft that I
constructed, specified max weight from each seat solo,
which was front and back.
  Thank you for taking the time to straighten me out.
Joe

Depends on a multitude of things (OAT - hence density altitude, CG, etc.) -
I operate near sea level have a gross weight of 1150, and based on
sandbagging have limited my "seat weight" to 360lbs total. In the hot Texas
summer I usually want to drop that as much as possible. FYI my personal
empty weight is @ 145lbs.

As many have said before - your results Will vary!
