: Thanks for the input Erez. No it is not my first boat. I built a Chesapeake
: 17, which is a hard chine boat. Unfortuately I am not familiar with the
: boats you mentioned. Thanks again.

Hey David, How is the CH17 sizewise for you? The Coho has similar cockpit volume, the 180less. I knew a 220# fellow that had a Pygmy Standard (same as Osprey Standard hull but with 4panel deck) and it was fine for him.
