Hey, I resemble that remark! Actually, at 250lbs, I'm surprised at some of
the boats I can get myself into. Now, watching me extricate myself from them
isn't a pretty site, but that's why they invented the wet exit.
I enjoyed reading your reviews of the Tiderace kayaks; they even have a big
boy version I can dream of owning. I also checked out the Impex line, as you
accredited to them a factor I find important--affordability. Their
Susquehanna looks like a playful boat. It suggests a max paddler weight of
210, but I wonder if I never plan to load it with gear if it could hold my
extra weight. I'm tired of riding so high on the water; I want a low volume
submarine kayak.

...though there were a few who couldn't even fit into any of the kayaks
present...
