The turbo beaver is a beast, been in it for take-off with next to no freeboard left. At Sea-level though. IIRC pilots have told me 1500# for the regular beaver and 2400# for the turbine model, again at sea level.
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
You'll hear different numbers... remember the pilot and fuel weighs something too. 1100 pounds is a good ballpark for what you and your gear can weigh. Distance of flight (fuel in board), altitude, and length of lake will all change what the aircraft and pilot can accommodate.
Keep in mind that gross payload is different than net-payload. A full tank of fuel will weigh close to 1000 ibs right there. So a long flight is going to have less capacity than a short one. Some operators will make modifications to their planes specifically to increase net-payload, and the specific configuration effects things of course. Most Beavers have floats, but wheeled beavers will have higher capacities, and the type of floats can make a difference too. As mentioned, the Beavers with turbine conversions are becoming more common, and can easily double or triple net-payload.
