Default Banner towing question

I've done a bit of research on this, but can't seem to find a good answer. Is 240 too heavy for a banner towing pilot? For argument sake, let's say for the 235 HP pawnee.

Every time I walk into a banner business to drop off a resume, they stare at me like I'm a fed and I think it's because of my size (6'4 240lbs)....

Any input would be helpful. Thanks.

My first employer asked me how much I weighed before I met them, Although I wasn't flying a 235hp Pawnee. It was sort of an under the table question, but it doesn't sound like it should be too much of a problem.

Thats tough, I think it really depends on the size of the plane they are using. I was talking to a company who flys Super Cubs and they didnt want anyone over like 180 for fuel purposes. So Im guessing its the size and type of the plane. But in your situation, I think there should be a big problem.
