> Because of weight and price F's Big Kahuna (+rudder +hatches) looks best to me but I fear this boat might be too small for my size. Unfortunately testing even one of these boats is not yet possible as there is only one F-dealer here in Vienna, Austria and he doesn't have a used boat available. They are supposed to have "display" boats, those dealers - not necessarily used, but hanging at the wall for people to see. Anyway, if they can't show K-1 or Kahuna, and you already have Klepper AE II and intend to travel often to Canada and USA, then why don't delay this decision until you see it there? Most of Canadian and US Feathercraft dealers normally have these 2 boats on display in store (and sometimes sell discounted "demo" boats). Anyway, with your weight and height (8' must be some mistake), K-1 is better for expeditions.
