Prijon rates the Seayak for people up to 240#, so you're loading it pretty heavy. I know people who weigh half what you do (literally) who enjoy their Seayaks, so my suspicion is that it's too small for you. The issue is not whether your butt fits in the cockpit, but whether the boat sits at the right height in the water. I don't have the specs on the Carolina handy. I think it might be a little bigger. > > Is there something about these boats I don't know (do they disintergrate in > 30 days?)? More like about 8 years of frequent use. Don't worry about the durability of plastic boats. The Prijon boats are a different plastic, and a little more durable, but Perception plastic is fine for your purposes.
