I own a Cortez, and before that a Dagger Callisto.   The Callisto was 
way too small.   I had to lengthen the the rudder/foot peddals.

West Marine has Stainless Steel Marine cable and fasteners.   I was able 
to get a good four more inches out of the food peg setup.  Worked 
beautiful.  But the boat was still to small.  Cramped my feet bad.  I am 
6 ft, 30 inch inseam and size 10 wide feet,

Local dealer (Southwest Paddlesports) traded in the Callisto for a new 
Cortez.  Boat fits nice.  Does not want to track straight (use the 
rudder) and primary stability is poor, while secondary stability in 
great.  You will enjoy the boat and grow into it.

Safe Paddling
