: Design displacement of 250 lbs. I'd think would be pretty light. Assuming a
: paddler of 200 lbs. and a 35 lb. boat weight only leaves 15 lbs. for gear.

True, I kinda missed the conversion and the fact it's aimed for larger paddlers. I also mean to talk about waterplane area for De Rijp, not wetted surface. The waterplane area is interesting, checked numbers for kog #77:

198,5 lbs - 12,31 ft^2
245 lbs - 12,87 ft^2

KOG #6 has these values:

198,5 lbs - 13,8 ft^2
245 lbs - 14.63 ft^2

Not too bad for almost 20.7 ft kayak...
