question Nomad 8.5 at 170lbs... New

Forum: BoaterTalk
Date: Apr 01 2008, 20:18 GMT
From: MaseSF

So I currently paddle a riot magnum, and I like the boat a lot, and I might even buy another one, if it breaks or something. But I am a little tall for it. I have the seat pretty far foward, and I have some trouble being very comfortable in it, even with knee blocks. ( I am 6'2)   I haven't had a chance to demo a Nomad yet, but I have heard great things about the boat, is anyone out thier about my weight paddling an 8.5. I also might be interested in a Jefe, if you want to chime  in some beta about that.


thanks
