I've been through all the info I could find about the weight limit on the cockpit floor but haven't been able to find anything so I thought I'd turn to the experts . I'm planning on heading out with a couple of buddies next weekend who are on the larger size one's 6'2" and about 225 lbs the other is 6'6" and ~400lbs and then there's me at 160lbs. So all together where close to 800lbs. This got me thinking about what kind of weight that cockpit floor might be able to hold. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I would think the cockpit will be fine. However, that's a lot of weight and you will need to balance everyone. Good counterweight in a heavy wind, just be fast to move during tacks.
I'm 6'5", 260 lbs., and I've got sailing with a guy whose 420 lbs., as well as 1500 lbs. of human ballast total (more than anyone should). There's nothing to worry about in terms of structural integrity, but I wouldn't let those big guys go topside and grab the mast on a serious heel.
If the boat is designed to hold six adults, which it is, then you should not have any problems with three Titans. With the weight that is. Fitting comfortably might be an insurmountable challenge

We'll just need to add a couple of 100 lbs ladies to help balance the load and make the cramped conditions more bearable
When I have >4 aboard, or roughly >650 lbs, I keep the water ballest in even, when not sailing.
I think there is a factory recommendation also to that effect.
I also forbid transiting to the bow topside if we've got more than 4 people aboard. Down through the cabin and up through the hatch if you want to go forward. That's also our rule for anyone under 14. Only person who gets to pull the boat over in an emergency is me.
... so it went off without a hitch. 4 of us total pushing a bit over 1k lbs cruising around for a day. I was amazed at how the handled.... the same; the boat always surprises me
