You'd exceed MTOW (Maximum take off weight) for both of you in a 150/152 I'm afraid. You might just manage it if you had a thimbleful of fuel, but you won't be able to go far!

The thing is, you'd probably be able to fly with full tanks, but you'd be over the quoted maximum weight. Hence no insurance, not legal blah blah blah... and I'm certainly not recommending it!

Of course, thats in a 152. There are lots of other 2 seaters out there you may well be OK in.
