In Response To: New to this........weight issues (MIchael P Snow)

: I have a couple of quick questions.....I am 25olbs and am wondering what size
: boat should I build? I would also like to carry roughly 70-100lbs of
: camping gear?

I'd suggest looking at One Ocean Kayaks. Vaclav has some nice designs for us large folks. Check out the Cape Ann I just posted. I too am your size and have size 13 stompers, not everyone who paddles is 5'8" and weighs 165 lbs!
