: Larry, the coho is a cool boat but on flat water I start getting the desire
: to sit crosslegged in it! Of course that's not possible but there's a
: desire to float around in the barcolounger mode.

I'm very happy in my first season,first boat, a Coho. However, I am finding it hard to get my knees/legs comfortable and braced, and am thinking that the extra 1.5" in the AT HI would be great.

Just what is the downside of high volume? Extra 5 lbs, but is there a serious problem with windage, handling? By stats, I should be fine (6'1", 180,size 13),but I really feel the need for knee room. Thanks for any insights.
