Any >similiar-sized person have experience with the boat? I am 5'8", #150 and I love the Anas Acuta. It seems to fit me like a glove. A friend of mine owns one and is about your size (not sure about the size of his feet) and he just squeezes into it. When he's paddling it it almost looks like it doesn't have enough volume for him. The rear deck is often awash and I can't imagine what it would look like if he paddled it fully loaded. Like someone else mentioned it's a low volume boat and doesn't have a lot of foot room (though not as bad as a Betsie Bay Valkerie). Make sure that you spend plenty of time in it when you demo the boat and you might bring along a few bags of water to load into the hatches to see how it behaves when loaded. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
