: Awhile back I ran across a web site which I can't seem to locate again. It
: had to do with building kayaks for rather large people. They were rated at
: something around 800 lb. carrying capacity I think. Does anyone know of a
: site such as this or where I can find plans?

David Zimmerly's arctickayaks.com is coming out with a book on building an Eastern Arctic kayak that is capable of handling a huge load on the rear deck, while not for every taste it is a time proven design. It is easy to lengthen the cockpit for a bigger person if needed.
