Check out their web site (www.clcboats.com), and especially their discussion forum for more information. That said, I've heard that many people with larger feet and large bodies in general have trouble fitting into the Pax 19.5. I don't know if the PAX 18 or 20 are any better. I built a CLC Northbay XL last winter and even that doesn't have a lot of footroom. However, any S&G boat can be modified by it's builder. By changing the deck beams you could get more footroom and the cockpit openings and outfitting can be customized as well. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
