Natalie, The only problem I have is that I suggested a smaller boat for my wife and she decided on a Perception Shadow. She's asked me to try her boat several times so I can give her my opinion on it---but my butt doesn't fit into the cockpit!! ;-) Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Natalie Wiest" <wiestn_at_tamug.edu> . Other way to look at this, you married guys, buy wife (presumably considerably smaller and lighter than you are) a boat that fits her. Now you are in a win-win situation. If she doesn't like the boat, it's free for you to paddle when not camping or carrying a lot of gear; if she likes it, now she has something comfortable to go along and maybe she'll really enjoy it and encourage you to go paddling more often. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
