	And coming from a 72 this boat feels like a bathtub comparatively when you sit in it.  People had said it would seat a big body and I can confirm that is true (My dimensions...6'2, 195, 35 waist).  I will certainly need a lot of shims to get decent contact on my hips.  The other thing i noticed is the thigh braces no longer even make contact with my legs due to the width of this boat.  I don't know they serve any purpose now so I may just take them out.  I had a tight fit in my 72 which translated to a lot of control and hope to get close to this again w/ outfitting.  Has anyone put additional seat padding in (Maybe sweet cheeks or more foam)?  Can't wait to paddle it but was curious if others around my size had success getting the outfitting dialed in where they felt good control on the steeps.
