Find a boat that he likes and that fits him well. Stable doesn't matter that much, because he should then set up a way to attach short pieces of PVC pipe filled with lead shot under or just behind his seat as low as it can go. Due to the lead shot he should make sure he has plenty of flotation and backup flotation. It would help to have a dry riding boat with a high volume bow. And just to help get the flame war going, it should have a rudder. I prefer not to use a rudder, but when taking pictures it is really helpful to be able to keep your boat pointed in the right direction. Few of the arguments against a rudder apply in the situations most photographers would be working in. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
