I am 6ft2 and....I dunno what in lbs, I'm from Scotland we work in stone but if you want to do the Math I'm 13 stone 5 (size 12 feet too)...

Anyway I had a Fish for ages which is an absolutley wicked wee boat-super confy too, and makes a great river runner too-much as I'm sure Corran would advise against it for the Fish, it rocks out on easier class 4/4+creeking and adds a whole load of spice to it becuase it is so forgiving and has real generous volume placement so you won't end up getting squirted all over the shot like a session would ;-P.

I now have a Thruster and funk me is it an awesome boat! Not so much of an all rounder as the Fish, more of an "I'm the most rocking playboat out there!" type of thing but it has so much room in it it's crazy! Having said that it is super slicey, short, crazy easy to flatwater and will kick whatever boats asses at your local spot, I've only just got mine but can think of nothing more than the next time I'm going out in it they are sssssoooo fun!!!

Might be worth baring in mind over the painfully slow kingpin and Mr "I won't bounce" Orbit Fish;-).

Good luck.

Chris.
