	I love my Y but it's showing its age (9 years! no wonder they stopped using crosslinked plastic.). I intend on trying out many different boats but looking for some suggestions for something with the good aspects of the Y (stability, predictability, easy to roll, playful for its type, etc) while improving on its drawbacks (outfitting, tight exit, slow, heavy, etc). At 230, uh plus, pounds and 6 ft, I'm a bit over the limit for some designs. Thanks in advance for the suggestions on boats to focus on.

If you've been paddling a Y you'll love the Burn. Pinecricker New

The Superhero might be your best bet for a "replacement" but for the attributes you listed TheBroncoKid New

The Gangster as a creeker option for a 230 lber? BobbyPeru New

suggested paddler weight is from 180-250 so he's within the range, plus, as a fellow 230er TheBroncoKid New

I tend to agree with that thinking. Thanks! <NT> CintiBud New

The Gangster would be a "play-creeker" for your weight... axr6 New

The Gangster looked good with 160 lb folks boating it.......I would think it would be underwater with an extra 70 lbs. <NT> Bradley New

I've actually paddled it at 230 <NT> TheBroncoKid New
